Question

A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 5 kmph in the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is:

Options:
A .  38 km/hr
B .  40 km/hr
C .  44 km/hr
D .  50 km/hr
E .  None of these
Answer: Option D
 -    Speed of the train relative to man = [125/10] m/sec = [25/2] m/sec.
  = [25/2 x 18/5] km/hr = 45 km/hr.
  Let the speed of the train be x kmph.
  Then, relative speed = (x - 5) kmph.
  ∴ x - 5 = 45 or x = 50 kmph.
