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 = 16 * 20 = 320 = Length of train
Length of platform = 600 - 320 = 280
A train traveling at 72 kmph crosses a platform in 30 seconds and a man standing on the platform in 16 seconds. What is the length of the platform in meters?
240 meters
360 meters
280 meters
600 meters
