Solution

First, we need to convert the speed of the train from km/h to m/min.

1 km = 1000 m 1 hour = 60 minutes

So, 48 km/h = 48 * 1000 m/60 min = 800 m/min

The poles are 40 m apart, so the number of poles the boy passes per minute is the speed of the train divided by the distance between the poles.

800 m/min ÷ 40 m/pole = 20 poles/min

So, the correct answer is 20 poles per minute. However, this option is not given in the question. There might be a mistake in the question or the options provided.
