A train passes a station platform in 27 seconds and a man standing on the platform in 16 seconds. If the speed of the train is 54 km/hr, what is the length of the platform?	Select the correct option
A) 299	B) 165	C) 170	D) 185	E) 112
Speed = [54 * 5/18] m/sec = 15 m/sec.   Length of the train = (15 * 16)=

<output>240</output>
240 m.   Let the length of the platform be x meters.   Then, x + 240 / 27= 15   x + 240 = 405   x = 165 m.   Answer:165
