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. |
| 3 |

Length of the train = L.
L = Speed (s)*Time (T).
L = S*T.
L = 60*5/18*9.
L = 60*5/2.
L = 300/2=>L = 150 m.
L = Speed (s)*Time (T).
L = S*T.
L = 60*5/18*9.
L = 60*5/2.
L = 300/2=>L = 150 m.

If the answer means options are in KM what is the process?

How its possible L = 60*5/18*9 = 60-5/2?
In this 2 is where from come give reply?

Guys nice explanation but I have confusion that km/hour and meter/sec. Then what about minute? Actually we should take meter/minute.

SOLUTION:
60 km/hr.
1k m = 1000 m.
1 hr = 60 min.
Therefore 60km/60min.
i.e. 1 km = 1 min.
1 min = 60 sec.
60 km/hr = (60*1000)/60 m/min.
60 km/hr = (60*1000)/(60*60) m/sec.
= 1000/60.
16.67 m/sec.
Distance in 9 sec = 16.67*9 = 150 m.
60 km/hr.
1k m = 1000 m.
1 hr = 60 min.
Therefore 60km/60min.
i.e. 1 km = 1 min.
1 min = 60 sec.
60 km/hr = (60*1000)/60 m/min.
60 km/hr = (60*1000)/(60*60) m/sec.
= 1000/60.
16.67 m/sec.
Distance in 9 sec = 16.67*9 = 150 m.

How to calculate please explain clearly.
= (60 x 5/18) x 9.
And the 5/18 how to multiple.
= (60 x 5/18) x 9.
And the 5/18 how to multiple.

Hi @Apurva.
You are saying that 60km/hr.
1 km = 1000 m.
1 hr = 60 min.
Therefore 60km/60min.
How 60km/60 min.
What you want to explain it? I'm not understanding.

Length of the train = 9*50/3 = 150.
If train crosses pole in 20 seconds.
Length of the train = 20*50/3?
Is the length of the train depend on the time the it crosses the pole? Please answer.

@Gowtham.
If train length is more then it takes more time to cross the pole. If it is small train then it takes less time to cross the pole.
If train length is more then it takes more time to cross the pole. If it is small train then it takes less time to cross the pole.

If train takes 20 seconds means taking more time to cross the pole. It means length of train is more 20*50/3 is 333.3. Therefore here train length increases.
