Options:
A) 350 m

Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- Let the length of train be x m. Speed of train while crossing a platform $ =\frac{120+x}{40}m/s $ and speed of train while crossing a boy $ =\frac{x}{30} $
$ \therefore $ $ \frac{120+x}{40}=\frac{x}{30} $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 3600+30x=40x $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=360,m $
