Correct Answer: 360 km/hr
Solution : A train crosses a stationary pole completely in = 20 seconds and The train crosses a bridge completely in = 32 seconds. The length of the bridge is = 1200 metres Let the length and speed of the train be L meters and x m/s respectively. According to the concept, While a train crosses a pole, it crosses its own length. 20 x = L....(1) While a train crosses a bridge, it crosses the sum of its length and the length of the bridge. 32x = (L + 1200) ⇒ 32x = 20x + 1200 (From 1) ⇒ 12x = 1200 ⇒ x = 100 metres = 100 × $\frac{18}{5}$ = 360 km/hr Hence, the correct answer is 360 km/hr.
