Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 4 : 18 sec

Given:

Speed of train = 54 km/h

Time train takes to cross a tree = 13 sec

Length of a platform = 75 m

Formula used:

Speed = Distance/Time

Calculation:

Speed of the train in m/sec = 54 × (5/18) = 15 m/sec

⇒ Length of the train = 15 × 13 = 195 m

Time taken to cross the platform = (195 + 75)/15

⇒ Time taken to cross the platform = 270/15 = 18 sec

∴ The time train will take to cross the platform is 18 sec.
