A train 220 m long is running with a speed of 60 kmph. In what time will it pass a man who is running at 6 kmph in the direction opposite to that in which the train is going?
OPtion
1) 15 sec.
2) 24 sec.
3) 14 sec.
4) 16 sec
5) 12 sec.
6) 20 sec.
7) 18 sec.
8) 6 sec.
9) 8 sec.
10)None of these
Solution
Speed of the train relative to man = (60+6) kmph
= 66*5/18 m/sec = 55/3 m/sec
Time taken by the train to cross the man
= Time taken by it to cover 220 m at 55/3 m/sec
= 220*3/55 = 660/55 = 12 sec.
