Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 32

Understanding

Application

Length of train = 212 m

Length of platform = 188 m

Speed of train = 45 km/h = 45 × 5/18 = 12.5 m/s

So,

Time taken by the train to cross the platform

= (212 + 188)/12.5

= 400/12.5

= 32 seconds
