A train, 300m long, passed a man, walking along the line in the same direction at the rate of 3 kmph in 33 seconds. The speed of the train is:

  • 130 kmph
  • 232 kmph
  • 332(8/11) kmph
  • 435(8/11) kmph
Answer:- 1
Explanation:-

Solution:
Let the speed of the train be x km per hour.
Man is walking in same direction, so,
Relative speed becomes = (x-3) km/h.
In 33 secs train travels its own distance i.e. 300m.
Speed of train = 300 * 18/33 * 5 km/hour;
Or, x-3 = 32.72 km/h;
Or, x = (32.72)+3
Or, x= 35.72 km/h.
