    Question

    A train 125 m long passes a man running at 5 km/hr in

    the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is:
    A 45 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 50 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 54 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 55 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of the train relative to man = (125/10) m/sec = (25/2) m/sec.

    [(25/2) × (18/5)] km/hr = 45 km/hr.

    Let the speed of the train be 'S' km/hr.

    Then, relative speed = (S - 5) km/hr.

    S - 5 = 45 => S = 50 km/hr.
