@gowtham
It would be only speed if the man(REFERENCE POINT) was stationary and only the train was moving. Here as both trian and REFERENCE POINT(man) are moving relative motion comes into picture.
Rahul said:
(Wed, Jul 28, 2010 03:40:23 PM)
@ankita
when a man moves in the direction of train, the train speed is decreased by his own speed. If he moves in the opposite directon he finds the train speed to be much greater. So when is moving in the same direction his speed must be subtracted from that of train speed. If he moves in the opposite direction to that of train, then his speed must be added to the train speed.
moving in same directon: SUBTRACT
moving in opposite directon: ADD
Rahul said:
(Wed, Jul 28, 2010 03:50:33 PM)
@ vijayagopal
here both man and train are moving in the same direction and the train crosses the man in 10 seconds.
speed = distance(or length)/time.
As both man and train are moving, relative motion comes into picture.
therefore:
relative speed= (length of the train)/(time taken by the train to cross the man who is in motion)
relative speed= 125/10

Hai Madhu N Swathi,
****When two bodies say x km/hr and y km/hr are moving in the same direction then their relative speed is (x-y) km/hr
****When we want to convert km/hr in to m/s we multiply with 5/18.
*** Let the speed of the train be x kmph
Speed of the train relative to man(x-5)kmph
(x-5)*5/18
now as we know that Distance/speed=time
now,speed is (x-5)*5/18;
distance is 125m;
time is 10 sec;
now u vl get the answer

The Speed of the train 50 km/hr answer is correct.

Please explain 18/5.
Dattatray said:
(Wed, Sep 8, 2010 07:35:23 AM)
18/5 = 1 km/hr = 1000/3600 m/s
= 10/36 m/s
= 5/18 m/s.
Sheela said:
(Wed, Sep 8, 2010 10:45:53 AM)
1km=1000m.
1hour=3600sec.
So to convert from km/hr to m/sec, we need to divide 3600/1000 i.e,.
1km/1hr=3600s/1000m which is equal to 18/5.
If it was asked to convert m/s to km/hr then it would be 1000m/3600s= 5/18

Abhishek said:
(Fri, Sep 10, 2010 05:55:25 AM)
Distance = time * speed 125 = 10 * speed
distance/time = speed 125/10 = (25/2)m/s = speed
----------------------------------------------------------
Answer should be in km/hr so convert m/s
km = 1000m and hr = 3600s
m = km/1000 and s = hr/3600
m/s = (3600/1000)km/hr
m/s = (18/5)km/hr
----------------------------------------------------------
The condition was speed = (25/2)m/s
= (25/2)(18/5)km/hr
= 45 km/hr
The speed was relative to man so we have taken time in consideration of man
--------------------------------------------------------
See further in in view answer.

Can any one tell me why we have mulipled 25/2 to 18/5..why it should not be multiplied by 5/18 and also how ?
x - 5 = 45 ....as I understand it should be 40 km/hr
x = 50 km/hr. Because x=45.
Could anyone please tell me how we get to 25/2 by dividing 125/10. I want to know how the division of 125/10 is done to get 25/2 an answer would be appreciated greatly.

Anitha Alavala said:
(Wed, Oct 27, 2010 01:51:03 AM)
See the answer for 18/5 is how?
1 km=1000m & 1hr=3600sec by this we get 1km/1hr = 5/18 m/sec.But
the answer must be in km/hr....But 5/18 is in m/sec. we have to convert it to km/hr.
1 km = 1000m => m = 1 km/1000 hr/3600)
= (1km/1000)*(3600/1hr)
= 3600km/1000hr => 18/5 km/hr
friends...its a perfect answer...have a look.

Sathish said:
(Wed, Nov 3, 2010 01:32:46 PM)
(x-5) is not a standard formula x is taken as speed of train and 5 is man's speed, to calculate train's speed from relative speed we subtract (x-5).
Chakit said:
(Tue, Nov 9, 2010 12:14:05 PM)
x - 5 = 45
x= 45+5
x = 50 km/hr.
Sanya said:

relative speed when two movable things whose speeds x,y are moving in same direction is =X-Y,
relative speed when two movable things whose speeds x,y are moving in OPPOSITE direction is =X+Y
Its an standard formula
Onam said:
(Fri, Nov 19, 2010 07:39:32 AM)
5/18 is conversion of km/hr to m/s and 18/5 is conversion digit m/s to km/s
Vijay Kumar Kuppani said:
(Sun, Nov 21, 2010 08:50:24 AM)
DONT WORRY FRIENDS ITS VERY SIMPLE
instead of going for a new formula.we can simply get the answer by using the standard formula.i,e
t=(a+b)/(u-v)
u can see this formula from the general formulas of this exercise.
where
t-time taken by the train to cross the man=10 sec;
a-length of the train=125meters;
b=0(because the train is supposed to cross a person);
u=speed of the train(you are supposed to find out);
v=speed of the man who is running=5km/hr=5*(5/18)=25/18m/sec;
by substituting the values in the above equation you can get the value..

Priyavel said:

Both (train and man) moves in same direction so we subtract.
Both moves in opposite direction means we add it.
We convert m into km, sec into hour so we multiply 18/5.

hai raghu, in the question man's speed is given in km/hr so we gonna convert train's speed to km/hr which is actually in m/s
1 m/s = 3600 km/1000 hr
125/10 m/s= (125/10)*(3600/1000)

Ravi U S said:
(Sat, Jan 1, 2011 01:22:45 AM)
Hi friends,the problem is very simple.Think in this way.Assume that the man is not moving(standing like a pole),now findout the speed of the train using the data.
LENGTH OF THE TRAIN=125m.
TIME TAKEN BY THE TRAIN TO CROSS THE MAN(assume standing)=10sec
w k t velocity=distance(length of the train)/time.
v=(125/10)m/s
v=(25/2)m/s
convert m/s into km/hr
v=(25/2)* (3600/1000) or (25/2)*(18/5)
v=45 km/hr
45 km/hr is the train speed if the person is standig(not moving).
But in the problem person is moving and that to he is moving in the same direction in which train going,so that's y add the speed of the man to the speed of the train then we will got the correct answer.
speed of the train+speed of the man=45+5=50 km/hr.
Murali said:
(Sat, Jan 8, 2011 02:26:24 AM)
hai!frinds,.
in this above problem they given speed of the one object.
we know that if the two objectives are move in the same direction then the formula is"(A-B)"(assume A is one objective and B is another objective).so,nw we know one objective speed(taken as B speed we know),that is subtutited in above.
then s=(A-5).(here it is the speed of the train)
1.in the problem train(objective) speed is given in the form of seconds,so convert the seconds into the km/hr.because of the one objective speed is give in the form of km/hr and also answer is given in the form of km/hr.
2.while the conversion we have to follow the following,
i)if we covert m/sec inti km/hr then multiplis with"8/15"
ii)if we convert km/hr into the m/sec then multiplies with "15/8"
3.we know the formula for speed is
"speed=Distance/Time"(s=D/T)
s=125/10 m/sec [here 125 is the distance,and 10 is the speed of the objective]
the conversion
s=125/10*(18/5)km/hr
=45.
4.in starting we initialse the speed(s)=A-5
then subtuted that speed in the above,
A-5=45
A=50.
therefore the speed of the train(another objective) is "A=50".

Manishkumar said:
(Sun, Jan 23, 2011 03:50:14 AM)
@ all apply logic don't simply go for routine
speed of man is 5km/hr and in mt/sec is 1.39.
so total distance covered by main in 10 sec is 13.9 m
so total distance covered by train in 10 sec is 125+13.9=138.9
so total distance covered by train in 1 sec is 13.89m
and if we convert this in km/hr
i.e. 13.89*3600/1000= 50km/hr

Rajesh Motana said:
(Sat, Feb 12, 2011 02:03:27 AM)
Train moves with speed 125m/10 sec,.. So need to convert it as KM/ Hr ,..To convert 125m to KM we have to divide it with 1000 so it is 125/1000 and to convert 10 sec to hrs we have to divide it with 3600 so it is 10/3600.
Then it becomes (125/1000)Km/(10/3600)hr.
So we can change it to (125/1000)*(3600/10)..
It is (5/40)*(360) = (360*5)/40 = 180/4 = 45 Km/Hr.
.. Now we have got the speed in 1 Hour ie 45 Km..
As the man is travelling at 5 Km/Hr.. In that 1 Hr he already travelled 5 Km's.. So the train speed should be 45+5 Km's to cross that person in that 1 Hr.. Now answer is 50 Km/Hr.. I hope it is clear,... Take a paper a write exactly what i have given above,.. I am sure u guys will like it..

This is good Question i understand that, some friend disturb for 18/5. its simple its unit for km/hr. let see that1km=1000m & 1hr = 3600 second so 1000/3600 = 5/18 . And see that If we want to small unit convert in to big unit we have to divide & if we want to big unit convert in to small we have to multiply so here they dividing and write 18/5 ok so encourage your self my friend go ahead.

Vasuedvareddy said:
(Mon, Mar 7, 2011 02:16:22 AM)
We need the speed of the train
we have only one clue about the train is 125m and 10s
speed=distance/time
(i.e)125/10= 12.5 m/s
but we need the answer in km/hr so convert it
12.5*(18/5)=12.5*3.6
=45 km/hr almost we got it
then about the direction, it is in same direction
Now the speed of the train as x,
because of same direction subtract it from x
x-5=45
x=45+5
x=50km/hr

When two things are running in the same direction or opposite direction then we say that motion is in relative between them. So at first we find the relative motion and then find the speed of train.
If someone want to find out speed of man that are given in the question.

Salahuddin said:
(Mon, Jul 4, 2011 07:42:31 AM)
To avoid confusion
Simple convert the trains speed for 1 hr - metres/seconds, 125m/10 sec. So 125 * 6 * 60 / 10 * 6 * 60 = 45000 mtrs/ 3600 . So to convert it, divide by 1000, its 45 kms/hr.
As the man running in the same direction at a speed of 5kms/hr add 45 + 5, if the person moves in opposite direction then subtract. Just logic guys
So in the above problem let us consider that the speed of the person is 5 km\hr .
Leave the 5 as it is and then convert the km\hr into m\s
that means 1 km=1000m
and 60min=3600sec
Now when actually converted 3600\1000 that would give u the two zero gets cut and remains is 36\10 that would give u after dividing each by 2 i.e 18\5which means
(18m\5s)1.FRACTION
Now the major calculation,
Two object over here is Train and the Man consider them as A and B
where A is the Train as we have to find the speed of the train
then B is the speed of the Man is 5
so we get A-5
We had 125m the length of train time 10 seconds
already these are in meters and in seconds no need to convert them so 125m\10s u get (25m\2sec) 2.FRACTION
Now, finally get the first fraction and the second fraction together i.e (18\5)*(25\2)u get 45 as answer when u calculate
then A-5=45 ,when u move the negative -5 to this side of the equals too sign it converts to positive giving u A=45+5
i.e 50 so A=50 and A is the speed of train!!hope u'll understood!!take care!!

A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 5 km/hr in the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is:
====> dist. travelled by man in 10 sec. = (5*5/18) *10=250/18
A train will have to travel its own length + dist.travelled by man. (when train will pass the man he would have travelled 125/9 m in same dir.)
i.e. 125+125/9 meters = 1250/9
speed of train = (1250/9)/10 = 125/9 m/s=125/9 *18/5 = 50 km/hr

Kirubha said:
(Wed, Dec 21, 2011 10:53:08 AM)
FRNDS is it correct or not tell me plz....
MAN'S SPEED = 5 KM/HR
Train length =125 m.
let assume train speed=x.
then we get relative speed (rs) of train and man is become
rs=x-5.
To conver km/hr into m/s.
= (x-5) / (5/18)
= 5x-25 / 18
speed = distance/time
125/10 = 5x-25 / 18
2250 = 50x-250
x = 2000 / 50
x = 40
Is it correct?

How was the relative speed calculated ?
Ambikun said:

There is no need of calculating relative speed. It can be solved easily by calculating the distance traveled by the man in 10 sec and the total distance covered by the train in the same time. This is very simple.

If the man and train in opposite direction then it relative speed is x+5. And speed is x+5=45. =>x=40. Am I right?

Why we are multiplying the 18/5 ?
or we can ask that why we are divide ?
The answer is simple. We are converting the 'kilo-meters/hour' value into 'meters/second'.
Let me explain about converting km/hr into m/s in detail.
1 km = 1000 meters.
1 hr = 3600 seconds.
1 km/hr = 1000/3600 m/s
= 10/36 m/s
= 5/18 m/s.
Therefore 1 km/hr = 5/18 m/sec.
Similarly 60 km/hr = 60 x 5/18 m/sec.
You may ask me, why should I convert it from km/hr to m/sec?
Nil said:

If we convert km/hr into m/sec i.e. 1000/3600 it's come 5/18. So why it is calculation is 125/10*18/5 instead of 5/18?

It is given that
Speed of man=5km/hr
Distance travelled by man in 10s=125/9m
Distance travelled by train in 10s= {125+(125/9)}m
Hence
Speed of train = [{125+(125/9)/10]*3600 = 50 km/hr
Shailesh said:

Speed of train=(length of train/time) is a formula
hence,
125/10 m/sec
now (125/10)*(18/5)=45.. multiply by 18/5 to become km/h
now 45 is relative speed
sr=s1-s2
45=s1-5
s1=50

A Train 125m long passes a man,running at 5km/hr.
It means that train speed =5000m/3600sec.------(1hr=60*60=3600sec & 1km=1000meters).
& Second Train running on same Direction & Passed in 10sec's.
It means Second train cross distance within 10sec's.
Speed of Train for meters/10sec = 5000m/3600sec*10sec=1.388888888889m
So,that train speed for km/hr=speed of train for 10 sec * remaining 3590 Seconds(3600-10).
=1.3888888889*3590=49.8611111111111111=50km/hr.
Therefore, A speed of that train=50km/hr.

This is simple. Length of the train is given and the seconds is given.
So we have m/sec there. To convert it to km/hr,
1km= 1000 m and 1 hr = 3600 sec.
So km/hr= 1000/3600. So we have 18/5. Now we got our km/hr.
Well that guy is running at 5 km speed. So we take the train speed as x and subtracting the 5 km speed from that. We have x-5 as the train speed. Now x-5= 45. So x= 45+5=50. :-).
Kishore Kumar said:

Your running at a speed of 5km/hr
(1km=1000 meter and 1hr=3600seconds,which will be 1000/3600=10/36=5/18)
Note :for 1 km/hr
Therefore 5(given km)*5/18=1.39
-------------------------------
Meanwhile 125m long train crosses you in 10 seconds along with you in same diretion.
Then!!
125/10 i.e its in the form of (125)m/(10)s.
-------------------------------
So add those two values in the form of m/s,which is 13.89=a
-------------------------------
Now question to find speed of the train,since we found in the form of m/s,but the options provided are in the form of KM/HR
-------------------------------
So to convert M/S to KM/HR :
(a*18/5)=(13.89*3.6)
Gives answer as 50 km/hr

How/ why Let the speed of the train be x km/hr. Then, relative speed = (x - 5) km/hr.
Please any one explain me why let speed =(x-5)km hr.

125/10 = 25/2
25/2*18/5 = 450/10
45
friends,
i don't know how to solve this problems after this
so plz anyone help me out
Anbu said:

Just try this 1 sec 5 km/hr means 10 sec is 50 km/hr thats it..
becoz the man running at same time train is moving ..

To convert km/h into m/s we multiply that value with 5/18.why is this because
1km=1000m
1h=60min*60sec=3600sec
now
1km/h=1000/3600=5/18
if we want to convert m/s into km/h we have to multiply with 18/5.
hope you can understand.

x-5 is nothing but here x refers to the speed of train and as both train and boy are moving in the same direction relative velocity comes into picture and here relative velocity is the difference of two velocities.
Mani Sharma said:

If train moving same direction = SUBTRACTION OCCUR.
If train moving opposite direction = ADDITION OCCUR.
Sundeep said:

Let the speed of the train is x km/hr
Then the relative speed is (x-5)km/hr
Therefore,
Time = 10sec
Distance = 125m
Speed = (x-5)km/hr
As we are calculating in m/sec so we have to convert km/hr to m/sec.
(x-5)*1000/3600 m/sec or (x-5)*5/18 {by cancelling by 200.
200*5=1000,200*18=3600}
Therefore ,
Speed = distance/ time
(x-5)5/18 = 125/10
x-5 = 125*18/10*5
x-5 = 2250/50
x-5 = 45
x = 45+5
x = 50
Therefore x is 50km/hr (speed of the train)

Hai friends I want to give small tips.
If there train passes in same direction just subtract it.
If train passes in different or opposite direction direction just add it. If you need to convert km/pr use this formula (a*5%18) for speed and m/sec the formula is (a*18%5).

Why you made it 18/5, earlier it was 5/18, please explain me.
Jayan said:

Here x=45 is speed of per 1km. question is 5km/hr .
So
x-5=45
x=45+5
x=50
Thats all.

l=125m;
s=5*5/18;
t=10s;
l=t*s;
s=t/l;
s=125/10;
s=12.5*18/5;
the man was also going same direction so,
s=45+5;
s=50;

Let the speed of the train is 'x'
Length=125m
Speed=10s
--> as per "Length of the train = speed X time"
--> 125m = 10s.x
--> x=(125m/10s) X (360/360)=(360 X 125m)/3600s
--> =45000m/3600s = 45km/1hr
As the above value is relative with the speed of man whose speed of running is 5km/1hr also to be added for the exact speed of the train.
There fore..
-->exact speed of the train is = (45km/1hr)+(5km/1hr)=50km/1hr
I believe its simple and right answer.

Let relative velocity of train with respect to man be vtm,actual velocity of train Be vt and velocity of man be vm.
We know that vtm=vt-vm,
But from problem vtm is =length of train/time taken
=(125*18/5)/10
=45 km/hr.
From above actual speed of train is,vt=vtm+vm
=45+5=50 km/hr.

A train of length 110mtr travelling at a speed of 80km/hr. Find the time taken by that train to overtake a train having length 130mtr travelling at a speed of 62km/hr?
m/sec
x - 5 = 45 
x = 50 km/hr.
