Download Solution PDFGiven:
Length of the train = 125 m
Speed of the man = 5 km/hr
Time taken to pass the man = 10 seconds
Formula Used:
Speed of train relative to man = Distance / Time
Speed of the train (actual) = Speed of train relative to man + Speed of the man
1 m/s = 3.6 km/hr
Calculation:
Distance covered by the train = 125 m
Time taken = 10 seconds
Speed of train relative to man = 125 / 10
Speed of train relative to man = 12.5 m/s
Speed of train relative to man in km/hr = 12.5 × 3.6
Speed of train relative to man in km/hr = 45 km/hr
Speed of the train (actual) = 45 km/hr + 5 km/hr
Speed of the train (actual) = 50 km/hr
The speed of the train is 50 km/hr.
