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:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| Speed of the train relative to man = |  |
125 |  m/sec |
| 10 |
| = | |
25 | m/sec. |
| 2 |
| = | |
25 | x | 18 | km/hr |
| 2 | 5 |
= 45 km/hr.
Let the speed of the train be x km/hr. Then, relative speed = (x - 5) km/hr.
x - 5 = 45 
x = 50 km/hr.

HERE,
1hr = 3600sec then, 1sec = 1/3600hr
1km =1000m then, 1m = 1/1000km
So,
km/hr to m/s is : 1/1000km bigger divided by 1/3600hr.
So, they put 18/5.
1hr = 3600sec then, 1sec = 1/3600hr

125/10 = 12.5,
12.5 * 3.6 = 45,
45 + 5 = 50.
12.5 * 3.6 = 45,
45 + 5 = 50.

18/5 is the direct formula to convert the m/seconds to km/hr.
In this given problem, we can convert the m/sec to km/hr so we use 18/5.
