Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 2 : 180 km/hr

Given:

Length of train = 225 m

Length of platform = 475 m

Time taken = 14 seconds

Formula used:

Speed of train = Total length covered/Total time taken

Total length covered = Length of train + Length of platform

Calculation:

Total length covered = (225 + 475) m

⇒ 700 m

Speed of train = 700/14 m/s

⇒ 50 m/s = 50 × (18/5) km/hr

⇒ 180 km/hr

∴ The speed of train is 180 km/hr
