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. Find the length of the train ? A. 45m B. 50m C. 55m D. 60m Answer Workspace Report Discuss Answer with explanation Answer: Option B Explanation First person speed = 2*(5/18) = 5/9 m/sec Second person speed = 4*(5/18) = 10/9 m/sec Let the length of the train is x meter and speed is y m/sec then, xy−59=9=>9y−5=x=>9y−x=5.....(i)Also,xy−109=1090y−9x=100.....(ii)from (i) and (ii), we get,x=50xy−59=9=>9y−5=x=>9y−x=5….. (i)Also,xy−109=1090y−9x=100…..(ii)from (i) and (ii), we get,x=50 So the length of the train is 50 meter. Workspace
