  • B
    89 seconds
  • C
    90 seconds
  • D
    92 seconds

Answer

Correct Answer: 89 seconds

Explanation

We are given:

  • Length of train = 240 m
  • Time to pass a pole = 24 seconds
  • Length of platform = 650 m

Step 1: Find speed of the train

Speed = Distance / Time= 240 / 24 = 10 m/s

Step 2: Calculate total distance to pass the platform

Total distance = train length + platform length= 240 + 650 = 890 m

Step 3: Calculate time to pass the platform

Time = Distance / Speed= 890 / 10 = 89 seconds

Final Answer:

The train will take 89 seconds to pass the platform.
