  • Question
  • A train overtake two persons walking along a railway track. The first one walks at 4.5 km/h and the other one walks at 5.4 km/h. The train needs 8.4 s and 8.5 s respectively , to overtake them. What is the speed of the train, if both the persons are walking in the same direction as the train?


  • Options
  • A. 66 kkm/h
  • B. 72 km/h
  • C. 78 km/h
  • D. 81 km/h

  • Correct Answer
  • 81 km/h 

    Explanation

    Speed of the person = 4 km/h = 4.5 x (5/18) = m/s = 5/4 m/s = 1.25 m/s
    Speed of 2nd person = 5.4 km/h = 5.4 x (5/18) m/s = 3/2 m/s = 1.5 m/s

    Let speed of train be x m/s.
    Then, (x - 1.25) x 8.4 = (x - 1.5) x 8.5
    ? 8.4x - 10.5 = 8.5x - 12.75
    ? 0.1x = 2.25
    ? x = 22.5
    ? Speed of the train = 225 x (18/5 ) = 81 km/h .
