A Man is sitting in the last coach of train could not find a seat, so he starts walking to the front coach ,he walks for 5 min and reaches front coach. Not finding a seat he walks back to last coach and when he reaches there, train had completed 5 miles. What is the speed of the train.

• If he takes 5 mins to go to first coach and 5 mins to come back and train travelled 5 miles in those 10 mins, then speed of train = 5*60/10= 30 mph

• @ Vignesh,
  
  If he has taken same time ( 5 mins) to come back from front coach to last coach, then total time taken will be 10 mins which the train took to travel 5 miles.
  then speed of train = 5*60/10 = 30 mph
  
  You can choose any answer as per your interpretation as you have not specified the time for coming back.

• Distance travelled by train in 5 mins = 5 miles
  distance travelled in 1 hr = 5*60/5= 60 miles
  so speed = 60 mph

• mr pargat pal singh we have to convert miles in to kms and then calculate the speed.so 5miles=5*1.6=8kms,s=8*60/10=48km/h
