C Correct answer
Explanation

At 90 km/hr, the train travels 25 metres per second. In one minute, it covers 1500 metres, which equals the train length plus the platform length. Since these lengths are equal, the train length is 1500/2 = 750 metres.

D Correct answer
Explanation

Relative speed = 45 - 40 = 5 km/hr = 5 * (5/18) m/s = 25/18 m/s. Total distance = 200 + 150 = 350 m. Time = Distance / Speed = 350 / (25/18) = 350 * 18 / 25 = 14 * 18 = 252 seconds.
