A train 280 m long, running with a speed of 63 km/hr will pass a tree in:

15 sec

16 sec

18 sec

20 sec

Explanation:

Length of the train = 280m
Speed of the train = 63 kmph
or, 63 × 5 = 17.5 m/s
Here, the time taken by the train to pass the tree will be the time taken to pass the length of train itself.
Thus, the time taken by the train to pass the train
= 280 = 16 sec.
17.5
Hence, option B is correct.
