  • A 8 Seconds
  • B 1 minute
  • C 52 Seconds
  • D Data inadequate
Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation

Length of train = x meters 

 
Speed = (45 × 5/18) m/sec = (25/2) m/sec 
 
Distance covered in crossing the platform = (x + 100) m 
 
(x + 100) × 2/25 = 60 
 
or 2x + 200 = 1500 or x = 650 
 
Time is taken to cross the pale 
 
= (650 × 2/25) Sec = 52 Sec.
