A Correct answer
Explanation

Let train length = L meters and speed = v m/s. Crossing a pole: L = v × 12, so v = L/12. Crossing a 198m tunnel: L + 198 = v × 30. Substituting v: L + 198 = (L/12) × 30 = 2.5L. So 198 = 1.5L, giving L = 198/1.5 = 132 meters. Verification: Speed = 132/12 = 11 m/s. Time for tunnel = (132 + 198)/11 = 330/11 = 30 seconds, which matches.
