    A train passes two persons walking in the same direction in which the train is going. These persons are walking at the rate of 3 km/h and 5 km/h respectively and the train passes them completely in 10 s and 11s respectively. The speed of the train is

    A) 24 km/h

    B)  25 km/h

    C)  27 km/h

    D)  28 km/h

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let the length of the train be \[x\,\,\text{km}\]and its speed be\[y\,\,\text{km/h}\text{.}\]Speed of the train relative to first man\[=(y-3)\,\,\text{km/h}\]Speed of the train relative to second man \[=(y-5)\,\,\text{km/h}\] \[\frac{x}{(y-3)}=\frac{10}{(60\times 60)}\]and \[\frac{x}{(y-5)}=\frac{11}{60\times 60}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[y-3=360x\]and \[11y-55=3600x\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[10y-30=3600x\]and \[11y-55=3600x\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[10y-30=11y-55\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[y=25\] \[\therefore \] Speed of the train = 25 km/h
