A train moves fast a telegraph post and a bridge 264 m long in 8 sec and 20 sec respectively. What is the speed of the train?

  • A.69.5 km/hr
  • B.70 km/hr
  • C.79 km/hr
  • D.79.2 km/hr

Answer: D

Let the length of the train be x m and its speed be y m/sec.

Then, x/y = 8 => x = 8y

(x + 264)/20 = y

y = 22

Speed = 22 m/sec = 22 * 18/5 = 79.2 km/hr.
