Given:

Length of train = 350 m

Length of bridge = 250 m

Total time = 20 seconds

Formula used:

Speed = Total Distance / Time

Total Distance = Length of train + Length of bridge

Calculation:

Total Distance = 350 + 250 = 600 m

Speed (in m/s) = Total Distance / Time

⇒ Speed = 600 / 20

⇒ Speed = 30 m/s

Speed (in km/h) = (30 × 18) / 5

⇒ Speed = 108 km/h

∴ The correct answer is option (3).
