Then length of the platform is 240m.

Average Speed:

Average speed of a moving object based on the distance traveled over a certain time traveled.

The formula for the average speed is,

Average Speed = (Total distance traveled)/(Total time taken)

Given:

A train passes a station platform in 36 seconds and a man standing on the platform in 20 seconds.

And the speed of the train = 54 km/hr.

Now, we have to calculate the length of the platform,

First we have to convert the speed into m/s

So, Speed of the train = 54 × 5 / 18 = 15 m/s.

Now, Length of the train is

=> 20 x 15 = 300 m

So, Length of platform x train = 36 × 15 = 540 m.

So, the length of the platform is,

=> 540 – 300 = 240 m.
