A goods train runs at the speed of 72 kmph and crosses a 250 m long platform in 26 seconds. What is the length of the goods train?

Given Data

• Train speed = 72 km/hr
• Platform length = 250 m
• Time to cross platform = 26 s

Step 1: Convert speed72 × (5/18) = 20 m/s

Step 2: Total distance while crossingDistance = 20 × 26 = 520 mTrain length = 520 − 250 = 270 m

Final AnswerLength of goods train = 270 m.
