A train crosses two persons travelling at 4 km/h and 6 km/h in the same direction in 12 sec and 14 sec, respectively. The speed of the train is ________. |
18 km/h 26 km/h 20 km/h 24 km/h |
18 km/h |
Let speed of train = x km/h According to question , ( x - 4 ) × \(\frac{12}{3600}\) = ( x - 6 ) × \(\frac{14}{3600}\) ( x - 4 ) × \(\frac{1}{300}\) = ( x - 6 ) × \(\frac{7}{1800}\) ( x - 4 ) = ( x - 6 ) × \(\frac{7}{6}\) 6x - 24 = 7x - 42 x = 42 - 24 = 18 km/h So , speed of train is 18 km/h. |
