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 |

We get 16.67m/s.
That is, the train traveled 16.67 meters in 1 second.
Then multiply 9 seconds with 16.67 meters.
Then length of the train traveled 150 meters in 9 seconds.
That is, the train traveled 16.67 meters in 1 second.
Then multiply 9 seconds with 16.67 meters.
Then length of the train traveled 150 meters in 9 seconds.

I'll Give Simple Logic Answer.
i.e.,
WKT,
Speed = Distance/Time.
So,
The speed of the train is given 60km/hr.
Convert Train Speed In meters and hours into Seconds.
That is,(60*1000)/(60min*60sec).
i.e.,1 km=1000m.
1 Hour=60min.
1 min= 60sec.
We get 16.67m/s.
That is, the train traveled 16.67 meters in 1 second.
Then multiply 9 seconds with 16.67 meters.
Then length of the train traveled 150 meters in 9 seconds.
i.e.,
WKT,
Speed = Distance/Time.
So,
The speed of the train is given 60km/hr.
Convert Train Speed In meters and hours into Seconds.
That is,(60*1000)/(60min*60sec).
i.e.,1 km=1000m.
1 Hour=60min.
1 min= 60sec.
We get 16.67m/s.
That is, the train traveled 16.67 meters in 1 second.
Then multiply 9 seconds with 16.67 meters.
Then length of the train traveled 150 meters in 9 seconds.

Speed = (60*(5/18)) divide 60&18 by 6, then,
Speed = (10*(5/3)) multiply 10 & 5,
Speed = (50/3).
That's all @Qaazi.
Speed = (10*(5/3)) multiply 10 & 5,
Speed = (50/3).
That's all @Qaazi.

Train Cross Stationary object without length.
t = Lt/St.
Lt = length of train.
St = speed of train.
Can I follow this formula for this question as I follow made easy book and for this type of question this formula is used but I'm not getting the answer thru this formula.
Can any 1 help.
Thankyou.

1 km = 1000 meters.
1 hr = 3600 seconds.
1 km/hr = 1000/3600 m/s.
1 hr = 3600 seconds.
1 km/hr = 1000/3600 m/s.

60 km/hr *speed = 60 x 5/18 m/sec.

Why in this question, you are saying to find out length of train it must be distance covered by the train?
