Q.

A jogger running at 9 km/hr along side a railway track is 260 m ahead of the engine of a 140 m long train running at 45 km/hr in the same direction. In how much time will the train pass the jogger ?

View Answer

Correct choice: B

Explanation:

Speed of train relative to jogger = 45 - 9 = 36 km/hr. = 36 x 5/18 = 10 m/sec. Distance to be covered = 260 + 140 = 400 m. Time taken = 400/10 = 40 sec.
