A train 125 meters long passes a running man in 10 seconds when both move in the same direction. If the speed of the man is 5 km/h, find the speed of the train. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A train 125 meters long passes a running man in 10 seconds when both move in the same direction. If the speed of the man is 5 km/h, find the speed of the train.
A. 45 km/h
B. 50 km/h
C. 55 km/h
D. 60 km/h
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Relative speed = 125 / 10 = 12.5 m/s = (12.5) * (18/5) = 45 km/h. In the same direction, Relative Speed = Speed of train - Speed of man => 45 = Speed of train - 5 => Speed of train = 50 km/h.
