Q:

A train of length 110 meter is running at a speed of 60 kmph. In what time, it will pass a man who is running at 6 kmph in the direction opposite to that in which the train is going?

A) 10 B) 8
C) 6 D) 4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 6

Explanation:

Distance = 110 m

Relative speed = 60 + 6 = 66 kmph (Since both the train and the man are in moving in opposite direction)

= (66*5/18)  m/sec = 55/3  m/sec

Time taken to pass the man = (100*3/55) = 6 s
