  • br /speed of train is = 60km/hr;br /since the pole is stationary therefore speed of train with respect to pole= 60km/hrbr /let length of train= x m;br /let speed of train=y km/hrbr /let the time taken be = z seconds;br /y=60km/hr;br /z=9 s;br /x=y*z;br /x=60 * 5/18* 9 ( converting speed into m/s)br /x=150 mbr /br / 


  • speed = (60X5/18) m/secbr /           =(50/3) m/secbr /     Length of the train = (50/3)X9br /                                    = 150 m
