Practicing Success
A 1800 metres long train crosses a man walking in opposite direction in 10 seconds. If the speed of train is 8 times to the speed of man, then what is the speed of train? |
576 km/hr 640 km/hr 596 km/hr 570 km/hr |
576 km/hr |
Given :- speed of train is 8 times to the speed of man Let speed of man = x m/sec Speed of train = 8x m/sec Relative speed ( When both moves in opposite direction ) = x + 8x = 9x m/sec Speed = \(\frac{Distance}{Time}\) = \(\frac{1800}{10}\) = 180 m/sec According to question , 9x = 180 x = 20 m/sec So , speed of train = 8x = 8 × 20 = 160 m/sec 160 m/sec = 160 × \(\frac{18}{5}\) km/h = 576 km/h |
