Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 1 : 7.5 seconds

Given:

Speed of train = 132 kmph

Length of train = 110 meters

Length of platform = 165 meters

Formula used:

Speed = Distance/Time

Calculation:

To cross railway platform train has to travel distance equal to the sum of length of train and length of platform

Total distance = 165 + 110 = 275 meters

Speed in m/sec

⇒ 132 × (5/18) m/sec

Time = Distance/Speed

⇒ 275/(660/18)

⇒ (275 × 18)/660

⇒ 7.5 seconds

∴ Time taken by train to cross the platform is 7.5 seconds.
