Correct Answer: 120 m
Solution :
Given:
A train covers a distance of 12 km in 10 minutes.
The time taken by the train to pass a telegraph post is 6 seconds.
The speed of the train = $\frac{12×1000}{10×60}$ m/s = 20 m/s
Length of the train = Speed of the train × Time taken by the train to pass a telegraph post
$\therefore$ Length of the train = 20 × 6 = 120 m
Hence, the correct answer is 120 m.
