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
