Trucks (10 m long) and cars (5 m long) go on a single lane bridge. There must be a gap of at least 20 m after each truck and a gap of at least 15 m after each car. Trucks and cars travel at a speed of 36 km/h. If cars and trucks go alternately, what is the maximum number of vehicles that can use the bridge in one hour?
1440
One truck-car pair occupies (10 + 20) + (5 + 15) = 50 m including gaps. At 36 km/h = 10 m/s, a pair passes every 5 s. In one hour, 3600/5 × 2 = 1440 vehicles.
