A train 240 m long passes a pole in 24 seconds. How long will it take to pass a platform 650 m long?

To solve this, we need to consider the additional distance the train needs to cover to pass the platform.
First, let’s find the speed of the train:
Speed = Distance/Time.
Speed = 240 m/24 s.
Speed = 10 m/s.
Now, the train needs to cover the length of the platform (650 m) plus its length (240 m) relative to the platform. So, the total distance to cover is 650 m + 240 m = 890 m.
Time = Distance/Speed.
Time = 890 m/10 m/s.
Time = 89 seconds.
So, it will take 89 seconds for the train to pass the platform.
