Correct Answer: 130
Solution : We have, Length of the platform = 390 m The time taken to cross a lamp post is 7 seconds. The time taken to cross the platform is 28 seconds. Let the length of the train be $x$ m. Speed of the train = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$ = $\frac{x}{7}$ m/s Length of the train + Length of the platform = Speed of train × Time $⇒ x + 390 = \frac{x}{7} \times 28$ $⇒ x+390=4x$ $⇒ 3x=390$ $\therefore x=130$ m Hence, the correct answer is 130.
