  1. Your answer is WRONG.
    You say that Slylock confronted Harry Ape “just as the [400 meter-long] train ENTERED . . . [the] tunnel. As shown in the cartoon, that means the FRONT on the train. You also state that Slylock subdued Harry “just as the train FULLY exited the tunnel. That can only mean the entire 400 meter-ling train. Note, it doesn’t matter where on the train Slylock and Harry were when Harry is subdued.
    Math: 400 m (train) + 800 meter (tunnel) + 400 m train = 1600 meter divided by 80 m/sec. = 20 sec. NOT 15 sec. You forgot to add the length of the train exiting the tunnel.

    1. Length of the train: 400 meters
      Length of the tunnel: 800 meters
      Speed of the train: 80 meters per second

      For the train to fully exit the tunnel, the rear of the train must clear the tunnel. This requires the train to travel the sum of its length and the tunnel’s length:
      Total distance=Length of train+Length of tunnel=400+800=1200 meters
      Total distance=Length of train+Length of tunnel=400+800=1200meters

      The time it takes to cover this distance is calculated using the formula:
      Time=DistanceSpeed
      Time=SpeedDistance​

      Substituting the values:
      Time=120080=15 seconds
      Time=801200​=15seconds
      Final Answer:

      It took 15 seconds for the train to fully exit the tunnel.
