    A 620 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 500 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 420 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 440 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the length of the tunnel be ‘x’ meter. Speed = 54 × (5/18) m/sec = 15 m/sec Time = 1 minute = 60 seconds. Let the length of the tunnel be x metres. Then, (460 + x)/60 = 15 =>(460 + x) = 900 => x = 440 m
