Solution

To solve this problem, we first need to find the speed of the train.

  1. We know that the train covers a distance of 15km in 12 minutes. To make the units compatible, we need to convert the distance to meters and the time to seconds.

    15km = 15000 meters 12 minutes = 720 seconds

  2. Now, we can calculate the speed of the train using the formula: Speed = Distance / Time

    Speed = 15000 meters / 720 seconds = 20.83 m/s

  3. We also know that the train takes 6 seconds to pass a pole. The length of the train is the distance it covers in this time.

  4. We can find this distance using the formula: Distance = Speed * Time

    Distance = 20.83 m/s * 6 seconds = 125 meters

So, the length of the train is 125 meters. Therefore, the answer is a. 125mts.
