Correct Answer: 3 seconds


Solution : Given: The distance of the train is 100 m and its speed is 120 km/h.
We know that $\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$.
To convert km/h into m/s, multiply with $\frac{5}{18}$, we get,
$120$ km/h =$120\times \frac{5}{18}$ m/s
So, the time required to pass a person standing near the line is $\frac{100\times18}{120\times5}= 3$ seconds.
Hence, the correct answer is 3 seconds.
