A train traveling at 72 km/h crosses a platform of length 400 meters in 30 seconds. What is the length of the train?
A
200 meters
B
300 meters
C
400 meters

500 meters
Correct Answer:
A. 200 meters
Speed = 72 km/h = 20 m/s. Distance covered in 30 seconds = 20 × 30 = 600 meters. This distance equals train length + platform length. Train length = 600 - 400 = 200 meters.
