ব্যাখ্যা
Here
Length of a train is 1300m
Train took 130 sec to cross a tree
Length of a platform is 800m

Speed of the train = 1300/130 = 10 m/sec
Total distance = 1300 + 800 = 2100 m

Time = distance/speed
        = 2100/10 = 210 sec

∴ Time required to cross a platform is 210 sec.

ব্যাখ্যা
Let the speed of the boat in still water be x kmph.
Then,
Speed downstream = (x + 5) kmph,
Speed upstream = (x - 5) kmph.

Now 
(x + 5) x 1 =(x - 5)(7/2)
2(x + 5) = 7(x - 5)
2x + 10 = 7x - 35 
7x - 2x = 35 +10 
5x = 45
x = 9 kmph

উত্তর
সঠিক উত্তর:
খ) 550 m
ব্যাখ্যা
Let the length of the platform be x

The speed of the train = (750 + 250)/20
                                    = 1000/20
                                    = 50 m/sec
Now, Again according to the question
The train crosses the platform in 16 seconds
250 + x = 50 × 16
⇒ x = 800 - 250
⇒ x = 550 m

∴ The length of the platform is 550 m.

সঠিক উত্তর:
ঘ) 108 km/hr
ব্যাখ্যা
Length of platform = 405 m
Length of train = 225 m
Time taken to cover the length of train = 21 seconds
Distance need to cover = Length of platform + length of train
                                      = 405 + 225
                                     = 630 m
Speed of train = 630/21 = 30 m/s

∴ Speed of train = 30 × (18/5) = 6 × 18 = 108 km/hr.

ব্যাখ্যা
Let the length of the train be x m.
The train passes a bridge of length 400 m in 110 sec.
Speed of the train = (x + 400)/110...........(1)
The train passes another bridge of length 160 m in 60 sec.
Speed of the train = (x + 160)/60..............(2)

Equating equation (1) and (2),
⇒ (x + 400)/110 = (x + 160)/60
⇒ (x + 400) × 60 = (x + 160) × 110
⇒ (60x + 24000) = (110x + 17600)
⇒ 110x – 60x = 24000 – 17600
⇒ 50x = 6400
⇒ x = 6400/50
⇒ x = 128 m

Let speed upstream be x kmph
Then speed downstream = 3x kmph
Speed in still water = (1/2)​(3x + x)kmph
                              =2x kmph

Now 
2x = 34/3
x  = (34/3) × 2
x = 17/3

So Speed upstream = 17/3 km/hr
Speed downstream = 17 km/hr

Hence speed of the current =(1/2){17 - (17/3)} km/hr.
                                             = (1/2)(51 - 17)/3 km/hr.
