- relative speed=68-8=60kmph,
60kmph=50/3mps,
time taken=150*3/50=9sec - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- 68*(5/18) = 170/9 m/s;
8*(5/18) = 20/9 m/s;
speed of train-speed of man= net speed=150/9 m/s;
time=distance/speed;
time=150/(150/9);
time=9 seconds; - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- (68-8)*5/18*x=150
or x=9sec (ans)

Speed of the train relative to man =( 68 - 8 )
= 60 Kmph
= 60 x 5 / 18
=50/3 m/sec.
Time taken by it to cover 150 m at (50 /3)m/sec= (112 - 50)kmph
= (150 x 3/50)sec
= 9 sec.
