Speed = Ditance/Time.
Distance = Speed * Time.
Or lenght = Speed * Time .
=( 60 *5/18) * 9,
= 50/3 * 9,
= 50 * 3 ,
= 150 meter.

Out of his total income, Mr. Sharma spends 20% on house rent and 70% of the rest on household expenses. If he saves Rs 1,800 what is his total income (in rupees)?

Please explain the answer.

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

Alpesh said:   7 years ago
1 km = 1000 m,
1 hours= 60 min.
60km=6 hours that 1km=1 hours,
1000/60*9=150,
So, D. 150 is correct.
