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

    Solution

    Speed of train = (Length of train + Length of Platform)/Required time Length of train = 360 m Crossing time of platform = 2 × 60 = 120 sec Length of platform = 360 × 2 = 720 m Let the speed of train be x. Speed of train = (360 + 720)/120 ⇒  x = 1080/120 = 9 m/s
