Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • Length of the train = 260 m Then, length of the platform $ =260\times 3 $ $ =780,m=0.78,km $

$ \therefore $ $ Speed\text{=}\frac{Distance,\text{(length)}}{Time}=\frac{0.78km}{\frac{80}{60\times 60}h} $ $ =\frac{0.78\times 60\times 60}{80}=35.1,km/h $
