    C 1.6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 2.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the length of the platform be 'x' meters. Speed of train = 100 km/hr. = 100 * 5/18 = 250/9 meter/second 300 + x = (250/9) * 27 ⇒ x = 750 - 300 = 450m ∴ Required speed of man = 450/(5 * 60) = 1.5 meter/second
