The above answer is 100%wrong the correct answer is :
V2=u2+2as
0=400+2×a×2
Hence a=-100km/hr2
Now,v=u+at
T=1/5sec
Now the time bird would fly is equal to time travel by train so v×t=distance covered by bird
So, 1/5×60=distance traveled by bird
=12km

The above mentioned answer is right but the time calulacalc above is written as 1/5sec. That should be written as 1/5 hr.
