    Question

    A 300-meter-long train can cross a 190-meter-long platform in 14 seconds. If the speed of the train increased by 20%, then find the time (in seconds) taken by the train to cross a man with a speed of 10.8 km/hr in the opposite direction.

    A.

    12.5

    B.

    8.33

    C.

    6.67

    D.

    3.33

    E.

    16.67

    Correct option is C

    Speed of train = 300+19014\frac{300 + 190}{14}
    = 35 m/sec
    Speed of the man = 10.8×518\frac{5}{18}​=3 m/sec

    New speed of train = 35×120100\frac{120}{100}​=42 m/sec
    Required time = 30042+3\frac{300}{42 + 3}  = 6.67 seconds
