Answer: 240 seconds OR 4 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the train = 1 km

Length of the tunnel = 1 km

Therefore, length of the train + length of the tunnel = (1 + 1) km = 2 km

= 2000 m

Speed of the train = 30 km/hr = 8.333 metres per second

Therefore, time taken by the train to cross the tunnel = 2000 m/ 8.333 m/sec.

= 240 seconds = 4 minutes
