In this situation, the train covers it length.
Required time = 100 hr. 30 × 1000 Required time = 100 × 60 × 60 = 12 seconds 30 × 1000 Correct Option: C
In this situation, the train covers it length.
Required time = 100 hr. 30 × 1000 Required time = 100 × 60 × 60 = 12 seconds 30 × 1000

Relative speed of train = 63–3 = 60 kmph
= 60 × 5 m/sec 18 ∴ Time = Length of train Relative Speed = 500 × 18 = 30 sec. 60 × 5 Correct Option: B
Relative speed of train = 63–3 = 60 kmph
= 60 × 5 m/sec 18 ∴ Time = Length of train Relative Speed = 500 × 18 = 30 sec. 60 × 5

Speed = Distance Time = 125 = 4.16m/s 30 4.16 m/s = 4.16 × 18 5
= 15 km/hrCorrect Option: B
Speed = Distance Time = 125 = 4.16m/s 30 4.16 m/s = 4.16 × 18 5
= 15 km/hr
- A 120 m long train takes 10 seconds to cross a man standing on a platform. What is the speed of the train ?

In crossing a man standing on platform, train crosses its own length.
∴ Speed of train = 120 = 12 m/s 10 Correct Option: A
In crossing a man standing on platform, train crosses its own length.
∴ Speed of train = 120 = 12 m/s 10

Speed of train = 90 kmph
= 90 × 5 = 25 m/sec 18
Distance covered
= 230 + 120 = 350 m∴ Time taken = 350 = 14 seconds 25 Correct Option: D
Speed of train = 90 kmph
= 90 × 5 = 25 m/sec 18
Distance covered
= 230 + 120 = 350 m∴ Time taken = 350 = 14 seconds 25
