@Suraj.
5/18 is for converting the km/hour into m/sec.

Distance = speed*time.
60*5/18*9,
60*5/2,
300/2 = 150.
60*5/18*9,
60*5/2,
300/2 = 150.

For km;
a/hr = (a*5%18).
And for m;
a/hr = (a * 18%5).
a/hr = (a*5%18).
And for m;
a/hr = (a * 18%5).

Length of the train = (Speed x Time) = 50x9 m = 150 m.
