- Train Length: The train is 600 meters long.

- Train Speed: It moves at 48 km/h.

- Time to Cross Platform: It takes 4 minutes and 30 seconds, which converts to 4.5 minutes or 270 seconds.

- Convert Train Speed to m/s:

- 48 km/h = 48,000 meters/3,600 seconds = 40/3 m/s.

- Distance Covered While Crossing Platform:

- Distance = Speed × Time = (40/3 m/s) × 270 s = 3,600 meters.

- Platform Length:

- Total distance includes the train's length + platform's length.

- Platform Length = Total Distance - Train Length = 3,600 meters - 600 meters = 3,000 meters.

- Correct Option: 4, 3000 m
