GIVEN:-
Speed of the train = 60 km/h.
Time = 9 sec.
Length of the train = ?

Formula : All lenth / time * 18/5 = speed.
Solution:-
All length/ time * 18/5 = 60,
?/9 * 18/5 =60,
? * 2/5 =60,
? * 1/5 = 30,
?*1 =30*5,
? = 150.
Answer :- 150 meter.

Distance = Time *speed.
1km =1000Meteres,
1hr =3600 seconds,
Distance = 60*9/3600 =9/60 km,
Distane in Metres =(9/60)*1000 =150M.

1 km=3000m.
60 km=60000.
1 hr=3600sec,
=(60000/3600)*9,
=150m.
