The difference between the time taken by the train to pass the platform and the time taken to pass the man is the time taken by the train to cover the length of the platform.

  • Time taken to cover the length of the platform = 54 - 38 = 16 seconds
  • Speed of the train = 29 m/s
  • Length of the platform = Speed × Time = 29 × 16 = 464 meters

Therefore, the length of the platform is 464 meters.

Answer: Option 4) 464
