Question

A train is 31m long. It passes a platform which is 175 m long. What is the distance covered by the train in passing the platform?

a. 206 m
b. 144 m
c. 175/31 m
d. Cannot be determined

Answer 1

The distance covered by the train in passing the platform is the sum of the length of the train and the platform, which is 206 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the distance covered by the train in passing the platform, you simply add the length of the train to the length of the platform, because the train has to travel the entire length of the platform plus its own length to completely pass it.

In this case:

1. The length of the train is 31m.
2. The length of the platform is 175m.
3. So, the distance covered by the train is the sum of these two lengths: 31m (train length) + 175m (platform length).

Therefore, the total distance covered by the train in passing the platform is 206m.
