      8
      km/h
      11
    4. 35
      8
      km/h
      11
Correct Option: D

If the speed of the train be x kmph, then relative speed = (x – 3) kmph.

or (x – 3) ×
5
m/sec
18

∴ 
300
= 33
(x − 3) ×
5
18

⇒  5400 = 33 × 5 (x – 3)
⇒  360 = 11 (x – 3)
⇒  11x – 33 = 360
⇒  x =
393
= 35
8
kmph
1111
