Yeah@ obviously. Mr. Sundar your answer was right but I think your solution is complicated. I need as simple as possible. Will you provide?

@Latha, Please explain the solution.
(sqrt(3N))^3/2 = 90.
N = 10.
(sqrt(3N))^3/2 = 90.
N = 10.

Speed = distance(length of train) / Time.
Length of train = speed * time.
First, express 9 seconds in hours since speed is in hours.
9 / 3600 = 0.0025.
Length = speed * time.
= 60 * 0.0025.
= 0.15 km.
Convert 0.15 km to meters since options are in meters.
=0.15 * 1000.
=150 m.
