Question

Four stations A, B, C, and D form a rectangle ABCD. The distance from A to B is given by (P2+100) km(P^2 + 100) \text{ km} and from B to C is (20P+100) km(20P + 100) \text{ km}. Train Y travels from station A to D via B and C, covering a total distance of 2700 km2700 \text{ km} in $25$ hours.

The table below shows the time taken by trains X, Y, and Z to cross a pole and a platform:

TrainTime to cross pole (seconds)Time to cross platform (seconds)
X0.5P50.5P - 5PP
Y(not given)QQ
ZMMP+6P + 6

It is also given that the average time taken by all trains to cross the platform is (Q+6)(Q + 6) seconds, and the length of the platform is $400$ meters.

Find the ratio P:QP : Q.
