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. |

5/18 means 5 meters/18 seconds so 5/18 is the conversion of 1km/h.
Thank you.
Thank you.

@All.
Here, is my expplanation.
The train runs at 60 km/hr which means it will reach 60 km in 60 mins.
therefore 1 km/min = 1000m/60s = 16.66m/1s,
The train crosses 16.66 metres for each second.
So 16.66 * 9 = 150.

To find the length of the train, we can use the formula: length = (speed × time).
Given the speed is 60 km/hr and it crosses a pole in 9 seconds.
The length of the train would be 60 km/hr × (9 seconds ÷ 3600 seconds) = 0.15 km or 150 meters.
Given the speed is 60 km/hr and it crosses a pole in 9 seconds.
The length of the train would be 60 km/hr × (9 seconds ÷ 3600 seconds) = 0.15 km or 150 meters.

60km/hr X (9s x 1min/60s x 1hr/60min) = 60km/hr * 2.5x10^-3hr.
km/hr * hr = km.
So, the answer is 0.15km or 150m.
km/hr * hr = km.
So, the answer is 0.15km or 150m.

See here :
1km=1000meters
1 hr=3600 sec.
By dividing both meters and seconds here we get =1000/3600.
At final we get 5/18.
Length = (speed×time).
L=(60×5/18).
So here we get = 50/3.
Then finally calculate the total length of the train = (50/3 × 9).
M = 150.
Thank you

Length = speed * time,
L=60 * 5/18,
= 50/3 * 9,
= 150 meters.
L=60 * 5/18,
= 50/3 * 9,
= 150 meters.
