A train 120 meters long crosses a platform 180 meters long in 15 seconds. Find the speed of the train in km/h.
A. 72 km/h
B. 64 km/h
C. 75 km/h
D. 80 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A

D. 14 cm

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Distance wrapped in 1 turn revolution = 2640 / 3000 = 0.88 meters = 88 cm. Circumference = 2 * (22/7) * r = 88 cm => (44/7) * r = 88 => r = 14 cm.
