    B 7 m/s Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 11 m/s Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 8.5 m/s Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of train = (Length of train + Length of Platform)/Required time Length of train = 400 m Crossing time of platform = 2 × 60 = 120 sec Length of platform = 400 × 2 = 800 m Let the speed of train be x. Speed of train = (400 + 800)/120 ⇒  x = 10 m/s
