During shunting of a passenger train the train engine will be stopped ________ mtrs before attaching to load? A. 20 meters B. 15 meters C. 10 meters D. 5 meters

The correct answer is 10 meters.

Shunting is the movement of railway vehicles within a railway yard or depot. It is done to assemble or break up trains, to move wagons to and from loading and unloading points, and to position wagons for maintenance or repair.

When shunting a passenger train, the train engine must be stopped at least 10 meters before attaching to the load. This is to ensure that there is enough space for the train to come to a complete stop before it reaches the load. It is also to prevent the train from hitting the load if it starts to move unexpectedly.

The other options are incorrect because they are not safe distances to stop the train engine when shunting a passenger train.
