A train overtakes two persons who are walking in the same direction in which the train is going, at the rate of 2 kmph and 4 kmph and passes them completely in 9 and 10 seconds respectively. The length of the train is:

A. 45 m

B. 50 m

C. 54 m

D. 72 m

E. None of the above

View Answer

Correct choice: B

Explanation:

2 kmph =		2 x	5		m/sec =	5	m/sec.
			18			9

4 kmph =		4 x	5		m/sec =	10	m/sec.
			18			9

Let the length of the train be x metres and its speed by y m/sec.

Then,

= 9 and

= 10.

y -	5
	9

y -	10
	9

Therefore 9y - 5 = x and 10(9y - 10) = 9x

9y - x = 5 and 90y - 9x = 100.

On solving, we get: x = 50.

Therefore Length of the train is 50 m.
