Correct Answer: $\frac{45}{4}$ seconds


Solution : Given: A train having a length of 330 metres takes 11 seconds to cross a 550 metres long bridge.
So, in 11 seconds the train covers (550 + 330) = 880 metres
The speed of the train = $\frac{880}{11}$ = 80 m/s
Now to cover a bridge of length 570 metres, the train has to cover (570 + 330) = 900 metres
So, the required time = $\frac{900}{80}$ = $\frac{45}{4}$ seconds
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{45}{4}$ seconds.
