  2. BOption (b)

  4. DOption (d)

    9 seconds

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

12 seconds

Why this answer is correct

Given:

Length of train = 180 m

Speed of train = 54 km/h

Concept Used:

Speed = \(\frac{Distance}{Time}\)

Calculation:

Firstly, we will change the value of speed from km/h to m/s.

⇒ 54 km/h = \(54\times \frac{5}{18}\)

⇒ 54 km/h = 15 m/s

Putting the value in the speed formula, we get

⇒ 15 m/s = \(\frac{180}{Time}\)

⇒ Time = \(\frac{180}{15}\)

⇒ Time = 12 seconds

∴ The time taken by the train to cross a man standing on the platform is 12 seconds.
