180 metres
324 metres
150 metres
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Speed = 60 x 5 m/sec = 50 m/sec.

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

@All.

Here, Speed of the train = 60×(5/18) = 50/3.

60 * 1000m/3600s = 16.66m/s.
So, distance = 16.66 * 9 = 150m.

Conversion formula for km/hr into m/sec = 5/18.
Conversion formula for m/sec into k/m = 18/5.

60*9/18.
50/3.
50/3*9.

= 150 Ans.

1 km = 1000 m,
1 hr has 3600 sec.
So, 1 km/hr = 1000m/3600s = 5/18 m/s.

60km/60min = 1km/min.
1km = 1000metres , 1hr = 60mins.
1000m/60min = 16.666667.
16.666667 * 9 = 150metres.

Given, S = 60 km/hr,
Time(T) = 9 sec and L(T)=?

Speed(S) = (60 * 5/18) = (50/3 m/sec).
L(T) = S * T.
L(T) = (50/3*9)m.
= 150m.
