1.
A train running at the speed of 60 km/hr crosses a pole in 9 seconds. What is the length of the train?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| Speed = |  |
60 x | 5 |  m/sec |
= | |
50 | m/sec. |
| 18 | 3 |
Length of the train = (Speed x Time).
 Length of the train = |
|
50 | x 9 | m = 150 m. |

10/36 = 5/18.
If both numerator and denominator can divide by a Single number, then you can divide it.
Here in above problem 10 and 36 both are dividing by 2, that's why the answer is 5/18.

Hey, guise your answer is really good. But I have 1 prob how to convert km/hr 1000/3600. In that form 5/18.
But thanks to Arvind. I understand. How to convert. Really thanks again Arvind.

@All.
Let me explain in the short.
1st look at the options is in meters so 1 kms = 1000m.
1000/60 (speed) =16.66666 per sec,
Length = speed × time.
So, the answer is 16.6666 × 9 = 150m.

*Simple solution*
We know that,
1) 60km/1hr= 60000m/3600sec , (1hr=3600sec).
*Calulation = 60000/3600 = 16.66m/sec.
16.66x9 = 149.99 = 150m answer.

That is (60 * (5/18) * 9) = 150.
Actually, the train speed is given in 60km/hour. We just convert that into m/sec as follows:
60km/hour = 60 * (5/18)m/sec that is equal to 150.

Tse speed of train 60km/h,
cross the poll with in 9 sec.
speed of train in 1 mint. = 1km,
Now, speed of train in 1 sec.= 1000/60= 16.67,
Now the length of train= 16.67*9 = 150 m.
