A train running at a speed of 54 km/hr crosses a platform in 30 seconds. The platform is renovated and its length is doubled. Now, the same train running at same speed crosses the platform in 46 seconds. Find the length of the train.

A train running at a speed of 54 km/hr crosses a platform in 30 seconds. The platform is renovated and its length is doubled. Now, the same train running at same speed crosses the platform in 46 seconds. Find the length of the train. Correct Answer 210 metres

Let length of the Platform is X m and Train is Y m. Speed of the train = 54 kmph = $$\frac{{54 \times 5}}{{18}}$$ = 15 m/sec.To cross the platform, train needs to travel (X + Y) m in 30 sec.$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Speed}} = \frac{{{\text{Distance}}}}{{{\text{Time}}}} \cr & 15 = \frac{{{\text{X}} + {\text{Y}}}}{{30}} \cr & {\text{X}} + {\text{Y}} = 450\,.\,.\,.\,.\,.\,.\,.\,.\,.\,.\,.\left( 1 \right) \cr} $$Now Platform is renovated and its length is doubled. So, Now, train need to travel (2X + Y) m to cross the platform.Thus,$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Speed}} = \frac{{{\text{Distance}}}}{{{\text{Time}}}} \cr & 15 = \frac{{{\text{2X}} + {\text{Y}}}}{{46}} \cr & {\text{2X}} + {\text{Y}} = 690\,.\,.\,.\,.\,.\,.\,.\,.\,.\,.\,.\left( 2 \right) \cr} $$Multiplying equation (1) by (2)2X + 2Y = 900 ------------------ (3)Now, equation (2) - (3)2X + Y - 2X - 2Y = 690 - 900- Y = - 210Y = 210Length of the train = 210 metres

As soon as a passenger train enters the platform, a stray dog starts chasing the train till the end of platform. The train was 200 m long. The platform was 1600 m long. Driver of the train however finds that the dog is not running at all, only pretending to run as neither it moves ahead nor lags behind during the whole time train crosses the platform. But a person standing on the platform tells that the dog was running at a speed of 60 m/s. What was the speed of the train?
A train running at speed of 54 km/hr crosses a platform of length same as that of the train in 36 seconds. If train which is 230 meters long crosses the same platform in 25 Seconds, then find the speed of train B (in km/hr).
There is only one rail track between stations A and B on a railway line. One hour after the northbound superfast train N leaves station A for station B, the southbound passenger train S reaches station A from station B. The speed of superfast train is twice that of express train E, while the speed of passenger train S is half of that of train E. On some one day train N leaves from station A to station B 20 minutes late than its usual schedule. Both Train N and Train S have increased their speed to maintain the schedule as per the table. If the superfast train doubles its speed, then what should be the ratio (approximately) of the speed of the passenger train to the speed of the superfast train so that the passenger train reaches the station on that day at the exact scheduled time.
