I(Arc covered by train in 30 seconds)
$ =30 \times \frac{36000}{60 \times 60} \mathrm{~m}$
$\therefore \mathrm{S}=300 \mathrm{~m} $
Since $S=r \theta$
$300=1000 \times \theta$
$ \therefore \quad \theta=\left(\frac{3}{10}\right)^c=\left(\frac{3}{10} \times \frac{180}{\pi}\right)^{\circ}$
$=\left(\frac{54}{\pi}\right)^{\circ}$
$=\left(\frac{54 \times 7}{22}\right)^{\circ} \quad \ldots\left[\because \pi=\frac{22}{7}\right]$
$=(17.18)^{\circ}$
$=17^{\circ}+(0.18)^{\circ}$
$=17^{\circ}+(0.18 \times 60)^{\prime}=17^{\circ}+(10.8)^{\prime}$
$\therefore \theta=17^{\circ} 11^{\prime} \text { (approx.) }$
