Speed of the train in metres/sec = 72000/3600 = 20
Distance travelled by train to cross the platform = 30 * 20 = 600 = Length of train + Length of platform
Distance travelled by train to cross the man = 15 * 20 = 300 = Length of train
Length of platform = 600 - 300 = 300
A train traveling at 72 kmph crosses a platform in 30 seconds and a man standing on the platform in 15 seconds. What is the length of the platform in meters?
Options:
a. 240 meters
b. 360 meters
c. 300 meters
d. 600 meters
e. Cannot be determined
