    B 9 m/s Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 11 m/s Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 12 m/s Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of train = (Length of train + Length of Platform)/Required time Length of train = 480 m Crossing time of platform = 2 × 60 = 120 sec Length of platform = 480 × 2 = 960 m Let the speed of train be x. Speed of train = (480 + 960)/120 ⇒  x = 12 m/s
