Change the km/hr to m/sec using:
0.278*60=16.68;
16.68*9=150.12,
Answer is near the 150.

36sec ---> 600m.
9sec ------> 600 * 9/36 = 150meters.
9sec ------> 600 * 9/36 = 150meters.

Some thing is missing in the question and solution because if train crosses the pole means train will has to cross the extra length as much the length of train.
