- Determine the speed of the train by dividing its length by the time taken to pass a pole:

- Speed = 480 m / 16 s = 30 m/s.

- When passing a platform, consider the combined length of the train and the platform:

- Total length to cover = 480 m (train) + 900 m (platform) = 1380 m.

- Calculate the time required to pass the platform using the speed of the train:

- Time = 1380 m / 30 m/s = 46 seconds.

- Option 3: 46 seconds is the correct answer.
