A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 4 km/hr in the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is:

Correct Answer: 49 kmph

Explanation:

Speed of the train relative to man


= (125/10) m/sec = (25/2) m/sec.


[(25/2) x (18/5)] km/hr = 45 km/hr.


Let the speed of the train be 'x' km/hr.


Then, relative speed = (x - 4) km/hr.


x - 4 = 45 => x = 49 km/hr.
