Correct Answer: 20 seconds


Solution : Distance to be covered = 150 m
Relative speed = 36 – 9 = 27 km/hr = 27 × $\frac{5}{18}$ = $\frac{15}{2}$ m/s
$\therefore$ Time = $\frac{\text{length of the train}}{\text{Relative Speed}}$ = $\frac{150}{\frac{15}{2}}$ = 20 seconds
Hence, the correct answer is 20 seconds.
