    A train 450 metre long takes 60 sec to cross a man

    running at a speed of 7 km/hr in the direction opposite to that of train. What is the speed of the train?
    A 15 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 18 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 30 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 20 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the speed of the train be x Relative speed = (x + 7) km/hr ⇒ (x + 7) = (450 × 18)/(60 × 5) ⇒ (x + 7) = (8100)/(300) ⇒ x + 7 = 27 ⇒ x = 27 – 7 = 20 km/hr
