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 360-meter long platform?	Choose the correct choice
A) 44  B) 46  C) 48  D) 50  E) 52

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 + 360 ) / 10 = 50 seconds the answer is d ."
Answer: D
