The correct Answer is:
To find the speed of the train, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the lengths involved**: - Length of the train = 180 m - Length of the tunnel = 460 m 2. **Calculate the total distance to be covered**: - When the train crosses the tunnel, it needs to cover its own length plus the length of the tunnel. - Total distance = Length of the train + Length of the tunnel - Total distance = 180 m + 460 m = 640 m 3. **Identify the time taken to cross the tunnel**: - Time taken = 20 seconds 4. **Use the formula for speed**: - Speed = Distance / Time - Substitute the values: Speed = Total distance / Time = 640 m / 20 s 5. **Calculate the speed**: - Speed = 640 m / 20 s = 32 m/s 6. **Conclusion**: - The speed of the train is 32 m/s. ### Final Answer: The speed of the train is **32 m/s**. ---
