42 s

60 s

54 s

48 s

To determine the time it takes for a 600-meter-long train traveling at 45 km/h to pass a stationary pole:

- Convert train's speed to meters per second (m/s):

$$ \text{Speed in m/s} = \frac{45 \times 1000}{60 \times 60} = 12.5 \text{ m/s} $$

- Calculate time to cross the pole:

- The train must cover 600 meters.

- Time $$ = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} = \frac{600}{12.5} = 48 \text{ seconds} $$

- Answer Options:

- Option 1: 42 s

- Option 2: 60 s

- Option 3: 54 s

- Option 4: 48 s

Based on calculations, Option 4: 48 s is indeed correct.
