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. |

@Udai.
Its very easy to convert m/sec in to km/hour,
Just multiply 18/5.
For example if we want to convert 5meter/sec in to km/sec then we will convert meter into km and sec in to hour.
That is 5meter=(5/1000)km and 1sec=(1/3600)hour.
So 5m/sec={(5/1000)/(1/3600)} km/hour.
or (5*3600)/(1*1000) km/hour
or (5*36)/(10) km /hour
or (5*18)/(5) km/hour
or 5 km/hour.
Its very easy to convert m/sec in to km/hour,
Just multiply 18/5.
For example if we want to convert 5meter/sec in to km/sec then we will convert meter into km and sec in to hour.
That is 5meter=(5/1000)km and 1sec=(1/3600)hour.
So 5m/sec={(5/1000)/(1/3600)} km/hour.
or (5*3600)/(1*1000) km/hour
or (5*36)/(10) km /hour
or (5*18)/(5) km/hour
or 5 km/hour.

Easy method.
60 km per hr.
1hr = 60 mins.
That means.
Per km = 60km/60mins = 1.
Per km 1 min.
Per km = 1000 meters.
Per min = 60 sec.
Train is running per second = 1000/60 = 16.666 mtrs.
Cross the pole in 9 second = 16.666*9 = 150 mtrs.
60 km per hr.
1hr = 60 mins.
That means.
Per km = 60km/60mins = 1.
Per km 1 min.
Per km = 1000 meters.
Per min = 60 sec.
Train is running per second = 1000/60 = 16.666 mtrs.
Cross the pole in 9 second = 16.666*9 = 150 mtrs.

Distance = Speed x time.
Length = (60 x 5/18) x 9.
= 150 MTRS.
Length = (60 x 5/18) x 9.
= 150 MTRS.

In 3600 sec. train travel 60000 meter than in 9 sec. How many meter it travels?
9*60000/3600 = 150 meter.
9*60000/3600 = 150 meter.

Distance = time*speed.
Distance = 9sec*60(km/hr).
Here the the time is in 'seconds' and answer will given into the 'm', so we will convert all the values into the 'm&sec'.
1km = 1000m.
1hr = 3600sec.
Then,
Distance = 9*60(1000/3600).
Distance = 9*60(5/18).
Distance = 150m.
Distance = 9sec*60(km/hr).
Here the the time is in 'seconds' and answer will given into the 'm', so we will convert all the values into the 'm&sec'.
1km = 1000m.
1hr = 3600sec.
Then,
Distance = 9*60(1000/3600).
Distance = 9*60(5/18).
Distance = 150m.
