Solution

The correct option is A

53.33 seconds


Speed = DistanceTime taken

Time taken = DistanceSpeed

Distance to be covered by train to pass through the tunnel = length of the train + length of the platform = 180 m + 620 m = 800 m

Speed of the train = 54 km/h = 54×518 m/s = 15 m/s

Time taken for the train to completely pass through the tunnel = 80015 = 53.33 seconds
