    Question

    A person is walking at 4 m/sec in the same direction of

    a train. The train crosses him in 7 seconds. If train speed is 72 km/hr, find the time to cross a bridge of 84 metres.
    A 9.4 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 9.6 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 9.8 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 10.0 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Train speed = 72 × (5/18) = 20 m/sec
    Relative speed = 20 - 4 = 16 m/sec
    L / 16 = 7 ⇒ L = 112 metres
    Time to cross bridge = (112 + 84)/20 = 196/20 = 9.8 seconds
