Answer: Option C
Solution (By Examveda Team)
In train he travels = 4 × 45 = 180 km = 180000 m Thus, the no. of poles, = $$\frac{{180000}}{{50}}$$ = 3600 [Poles are at the distance of 50 m.]This Question Belongs to Arithmetic Ability >> Speed Time And Distance
i think answer should be 3601. Because distance between two pole is 50m i.e 1 pole must be added with.
A train crosses 161 telegraph posts situated at a distace of 11 yards each in one minute what is the speed of train in miles per hour
c 3600
Distance travelled in 4 hrs. 45*4= 180km.
ie 180000m. No. poles 50 metres apart 180000/50 = 3600
