- Hint – In this question the distance travelled by the train at the given speed and the time will be the actual length of the train, so use the direct basic relation between distance, speed and time that is distance is the product of speed and time, to get the answer.

Complete step-by-step solution -

Given data:

Speed (v) of train = 60 km/hr.

And it takes 9 seconds to cross a pole.

Therefore time (t) = 9 seconds.

Now as we know 1 km = 1000 meter.

And 1 hr. = 3600 sec.

So 1(km/hr.) = (1000/3600) = (5/18) meter/seconds

So 60 km/hr. = 60×518=503 m/sec.

So the speed (v) of the train = 503 m/sec.

Now as we know speed (v), distance (s) and time (t) is related as

s=v×t Units.

Now let the length of the train be l m.

⇒l=v×t Meters.

Now substitute the values in above equation we have,

⇒l=503×9=150 Meters.
