One hour = 60 Km,
3600 Seconds = 60 Km,
60 Seconds = 1 Km,
9 Seconds = 0.15 Km,
1 Km = 1000 Meter.
0.15 Km = 150 Metter.
3600 Seconds = 60 Km,
60 Seconds = 1 Km,
9 Seconds = 0.15 Km,
1 Km = 1000 Meter.
0.15 Km = 150 Metter.

@Mohammed Asif.
60x5/18=50/3. Now since the train crossed the pole in 9 seconds you multiply 50/3x9=150.
Hope this helps.

@Charmi.
20%+70%+10%(1800) =100%,
10% is 1800,
so 10x1800 = 18000.
12600(70%) + 3600(20%) + 1800 (10%) = 18000 (100%).
20%+70%+10%(1800) =100%,
10% is 1800,
so 10x1800 = 18000.
12600(70%) + 3600(20%) + 1800 (10%) = 18000 (100%).

1hr = 60min and 1km = 1000m.
Let 1min = 6km.
And 1min = 60sec.
1000/60 = 16.6.
16.6 * 9 = 150m.
This is the answer.
Let 1min = 6km.
And 1min = 60sec.
1000/60 = 16.6.
16.6 * 9 = 150m.
This is the answer.

Please explain.
