    A rain passes a 50 m long platform in 14 s and a man standing on the platform in 10 s. The speed of the train is

    A)  24 km/h

    B)  36 km/h    

    C)  40 km/h

    D)  45 km/h

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let the length of train = x m. \[\therefore \] According to question, Speed of the train \[=\frac{x}{10}\text{m/s}\] And also the speed of the train \[=\left( \frac{x+50}{14} \right)\text{m/s}\] Both the speeds should be equal i.e.,       \[\frac{x}{10}=\frac{x+50}{14}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[14x=10x+500\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[14x-10x=500\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[4x=500\] \[\therefore \]      \[x=125\,\,\text{m}\] \[\therefore \]      Speed \[=\frac{125}{10}=12.5\,\,\text{m/s}\] \[=\frac{12.5\times 18}{5}\,\,\text{km/h}=45\,\,\text{km/h}\]
