A train running at a speed of 36 km/h passes an electric pole in 14 seconds. In how many seconds will the whole train pass a 370-meter long platform?
Answers
A) 45	B) 47	C) 49	D) 51	E) 53

Rationale: let the length of the train be x meters . when a train crosses an electric pole , the distance covered is its own length x . speed = 36 km / h = 36000 m / 3600 s = 10 m / s x = 14 * 10 = 140 m . the time taken to pass the platform = ( 140 + 370 ) / 10 = 51 seconds the answer is d .
Answer: D
