Question:

A train moves with a speed of 108 kmph. Its speed in meters per second is :

 

Options:

38.8

18

30

None of these

Correct Answer:

30

Explanation:

Speed = \(\frac{ Distance}{ Time}\)

*Note* 

In order to convert km/hr to m/s - multiply by  \(\frac{ 5}{ 18}\)

In order to convert m/s to kn/hr - multiply by  \(\frac{ 18}{ 5}\)

Thus, 

108 x \(\frac{5 }{18 }\) = 30 m/s
