1. A train covers a distance of 6 km in 5 minutes. If it takes 3 seconds to pass a telegraph post, then the length of the train is:

Solution:
                 Speed = 6/5 * 60 
                            = 72 km/hr 
                            = 72*5/18 
                            = 20 m/s..

                 Length = 20*3 
                             = 60 m.

2. A train 120 m long passed a pole in 12 seconds. How long will it take to pass a platform 500 m long?

                             = 620/10 
                             = 62 seconds.
