Question: A train crosses a platform 300 meters long in 50 seconds and another platform 150 meters long in 35 seconds. What is the length of the train?

Solution:
Let the length of the train = x meters

Then,
For the first platform, the distance covered by the train = (x + 300) meters
And,
For the second platform, the distance covered by the train = (x + 150) meters

According to the question,
(x + 300)/50 = (x + 150)/35
⇒ 50(x + 150) = 35(x + 300)
⇒ 50x + 7500 = 35x + 10500
⇒ 50x - 35x = 10500 - 7500
⇒ 15x = 3000
⇒ x = 3000/15 
⇒ x = 200

∴ The length of the train is 200 meters
