Solution

The correct option is C

12 m/s, 50s


Speed of the train =Length of the trainTime taken to cross the pole=605 m/s=12 m/s

Now, distance to be covered to cross a 540 m long bridge
=Length of the train + Length of the bridge
= 60 m + 540 m = 600 m

Hence, time taken =distancespeed
= 60012 s = 50 s
