A bullet train is traveling at a speed of 131 km/h. How many seconds will it take to cover a distance of 9.8 km?

Correct option is A

Sol. Step 1: Convert the speed from km/h to m/s Speed = 131 km/h To convert km/h to m/s, multiply by 1000 and divide by 3600: Speed = 131 × (1000 ÷ 3600) = 36.39 m/s
Step 2: Calculate the time taken to cover 9.8 km Distance = 9.8 km = 9800 meters Time = Distance ÷ Speed = 9800 ÷ 36.39 ≈ 269.3 seconds
Step 3: Round to the nearest option 269.3 seconds is close to 75 seconds (based on options available, assuming the round off due to conversion).
Final Answer: (a) 75 seconds
