Given:-  

An 1800 m long train is running at the speed of 30 km/hr.

The train passes a signal pole near the railway line.

Formula used:-

1 km = 1000 m,

1 hr = 3,600 seconds (s)

Time = Distance/Speed

Calculation:-

Length of train = Distance covered in passing the pole = 1800 m

Speed of train = 30 km/hr

⇒ Speed of train = (30 × 1000)/(1 × 3,600) m/s

⇒ Speed of train = 25/3 m/s  

Time = Distance covered by train in passing the pole/Speed of train

⇒ 1800/(25/3) seconds

⇒ 216 seconds

∴ The required answer is 216.
