    Question

    700 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 5 m/sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 6 m/sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 7 m/sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 8 m/sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of train = 700/20 = 35 m/sec Let the speed of the man be ‘s’ m/sec Relative speed of the train = (35 – s) m/sec According to the question, (35 – s) = 700/25 Or, s = 35 – 28 = 7 Therefore, speed of the man = 7 m/sec
