A train 180 m long passes a pole in 12 seconds at a steady speed. How many seconds does it need to cross a bridge 420 m long?

  1. 30 seconds
  2. 45 seconds
  3. 60 seconds
  4. 40 seconds
Show answer

Correct answer: 40 seconds

Speed = 180 ÷ 12 = 15 m/s. To cross, the train covers 180 + 420 = 600 m. Time = 600 ÷ 15 = 40 seconds.
