A train speeds past a pole in 15 seconds and a platform 100 m long in 40 seconds. Its length is?	Choose the most appropriate option:
A) 188 m
B) 876 m
C) 251 m
D) 100 m
E) 145 m
Let the length of the train be x meters and its speed be y m/sec.   They, x / y = 15 =&gt; y = x/15   x + 100 / 40 = x / 15   x = 100 m.   Answer: 100 m
