Correct Answer: 6 seconds


Solution : Given: The distance of the train is 60 m and its speed is 36 km/h.
To convert km/h into m/s, multiplying by $\frac{5}{18}$ and we get,
= $36\times \frac{5}{18}$ = 10 m/s
We know that, $\text {Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$
So, the train will take the required time, $\frac{60}{10}=6$ seconds.
Hence, the correct answer is 6 seconds.
