A train 100 meter long meets a man going in opposite direction at 5 km/h and passes him in 7¹/₅ seconds. What is the speed of the train (in km/hr)?

A. 45 km/h

B. 60 km/h

C. 55 km/hr

D. 50 km/hr

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Relative speed of man & train}} \cr & {\text{ = }}\frac{{100 \times 5}}{{36}} \times \frac{{18}}{5} \cr & {\text{ = 50km/hr}} \cr & \therefore {\text{speed of train}} \cr & {\text{ = 50}} - {\text{5}} \cr & {\text{ = 45 km/hr}} \cr} $$
