A train 110 metres long is running with a speed of 60 kmph. In what time will it pass a man who is running at 6 kmph in the direction opposite to that in which the train is going?
5 sec
6 sec
7 sec
10 sec
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Speed of train relative to man = (60 + 6) km/hr = 66 km/hr.

   = 66 x 5 m/sec
18

   = 55 m/sec.
3

Time taken to pass the man = 110 x 3 sec = 6 sec.
55

Hi, I don't know how it is calculated.

(66*5/18) = 55/3.

@Arun.

110/x = 55/3.
X = 110 * 3/55.
