Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: 15400 m
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Convert the speed from km/h to km per minute, then multiply by 10 minutes and convert to meters.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Distance = speed * time. Convert final result to meters (1 km = 1000 m).
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Per-minute rate: 92.4/60 = 1.54 km/min; in 10 minutes → 15.4 km → 15400 m.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
1540 m or 154 m are off by factors of 10 or 100; 15.4 m is absurdly small for a train in 10 minutes.
Common Pitfalls:
Unit mistakes (minutes vs hours, km vs m) leading to order-of-magnitude errors.
Final Answer:
15400 m
