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:

Options:
A .  45 km/hr
B .  50 km/hr
C .  54 km/hr
D .  55 km/hr
E .  None of these
Answer: Option B
 -   Speed of the train relative to man =   125 m/sec 10  
   =   25 m/sec. 2  
   =   25 x 18 km/hr 2 5   
  = 45 km/hr.
  Let the speed of the train be x km/hr. Then, relative speed = (x - 5) km/hr.
 
  x - 5 = 45           x = 50 km/hr.
