Is this the puzzle you were trying to get answered:

A cow was standing on a bridge, 5feet away from the middle of the bridge. suddenly a lightning
express with 90 miles/hr was
coming towards the bridge from nearest end of the cow.seeeing this the cow ran towards the
express and managed to escape
when the train is one feet away from the bridge. if it would have ran to opposite direction
(ie away from train) it would have been
hit the train one ft away from the end of the bridge.
Calculate the length of bridge.


Answer:
As the train goes two bridge lengths, less one foot, while the cow goes half a bridge length, less five feet, and would go three bridge lengths, less three inches, while the cow went half a bridge length, plus four feet, nine inches, we see that the train would go five bridge lengths, less fifteen inches, while the cow went one bridge length, less three inches. So the train goes just five times as fast as the cow, and two bridge lengths less one foot is equal to two and a half bridge lengths, less twenty-five feet. Hence half a bridge length is twenty-four feet and the whole length is forty-eight feet.
