#1 Problems on Trains

A jogger is running at 9 kmph alongside a railway track is 240 meters ahead of the engine of a 120 meters long train running at 45 kmph in the same direction. In how much time will the train  pass the jogger ?

A) 48 secB) 36 secC) 18 secD) 72 sec

Answer: B) 36 sec 

Explanation:

Speed of the train relative to jogger = (45-9) km/hr = 36 km/hr

= = 10 m/sec

Distance to be covered =(240 + 120)m = 360 m

 Time taken =  sec = 36 sec
