Question

    1000 metres long train crosses a man who is moving in

    the same direction with a certain speed, in 25 seconds. If the same train can cross a tree in 20 seconds with the same speed, then find the speed of the man.
    A 11 m/sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 19 m/sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 10 m/sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 15 m/sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of train = 1000/25 = 50 m/sec Let the speed of the man be ‘s’ m/sec Relative speed of the train = (50 – s) m/sec According to the question, (50 – s) = 1000/25 Or, s = 50 – 40 = 10 Therefore, speed of the man = 10 m/sec
