Question:

A 150 meter train takes 10 sec to cross a man who is walking in the same direction at the speed of 6 km/hr. The speed of the train is:

Options:

52 km/hr

55 km/hr

 64 km/hr

 60 km/hr

Correct Answer:

 60 km/hr

Explanation:

Let the speed of the train be x km/hr

The relative speed of the train with respect to the man = (x - 6) km/hr

⇒ (x - 6) = \(\frac{150}{10}\) × \(\frac{18}{5}\) (converting m/s to km/hr by multiplying with x\(\frac{18}{5}\))

⇒ (x - 6) = 15 × \(\frac{18}{5}\)

⇒ x - 6 = 54 

x = 60

Ans = 60km/hr
