    Question

    A man is jogging at 4 m/sec in the same direction of a

    train. The train crosses him in 6 seconds. If the train's speed is 72 km/hr, find the time it takes to cross a bridge of 48 metres.
    A 6.8 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 7.0 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 7.2 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 7.4 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Train speed = 72 Ɨ (5/18) = 20 m/sec
    Relative speed = 20 - 4 = 16 m/sec
    L / 16 = 6 ⇒ L = 96 metres
    Time to cross bridge = (96 + 48)/20 = 144/20 = 7.2 seconds
