A 90-meter long train, travelling at the rate of 40 kmph is moving towards a man running at the rate of 5 kmph. If the distance between the train and the man is 10 meters, how long it will take the train to pass the man?

A. 2 sec
B. 7.2 sec
C. 8 sec
D. 10 sec
E. 12 sec

Hi Bunuel

It is not clear whether man is running in the direction of the train or in the direction opposite to the train. Please correct

D. 10 sec
E. 12 sec

Total distance = 90 + 10 = 100 m
Relative speed = 45 kmh = 45*5/18 = 25/2 = 12.5 m/s

Time = 100 / 12.5 = 8 sec

IMO C

net relative speed = 5+40 ; 45 kmph ; 45*5/18 ; 12.5mps
and net distance b/w train + man ; 90+10 ; 100 mtrs
so net time it would take to pass ; 100/12.5 ; 8 sec
IMO C
