A train 140 meters long tracking at 63 km/h passes a modern bridge in 24 seconds. Find the length of the bridge.
A. 300 meters
B. 260 meters
C. 280 meters
D. 320 meters
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Speed of train = 63 * (5/18) = 17.5 m/s. Total distance handled in 24 seconds = 17.5 * 24 = 420 meters. Length of the bridge = 420 - 140 = 280 meters.
