Two trains are running at 40 km/hr and 20 km/hr respectively in the same direction. Fast train completely passes a man sitting in the slower train in 5 seconds. What is the length of the fast train?
According to the formula given here we can find the SUM OF LENGTH OF THE 2 TRAINS and not the length of the faster train which is asked in the question.

Hi guys but the train crosses a man who is sitting in the train but not the one who is standing simply. Also he might be sitting in middle or some where else we have to calculate the distance from which the man is sitting. Isn't it?

What arun said was correct. You consider that man as reference point. Then we can get length of the faster train.
Thank you ARUN.

We are calculating only the fastest train length know. So where ever the man is sitting the trains length will not vary know guys.
Length of faster train =
