    C 11 m/s Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 7 m/s Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 9 m/s Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of train = (Length of train + Length of Platform)/Required time Length of train = 280 m Crossing time of platform = 2 × 60 = 120 sec Length of platform = 280 × 2 = 560 m Let the speed of train be x. Speed of train = (280 + 560)/120 ⇒  x = 840/120 = 7 m/s
