A train 110 meters long is running with a speed of 60 kmph. In what time will it pass a man who is running at 6 kmph in the direction opposite to that in which the train is going?

a) 5 sec
b) 6 sec
c) 7 sec
d) 10 sec

Answer: b
Explanation:
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Speed of train relative to man}} \cr & {\text{ = }}\left( {60 + 6} \right){\text{km/hr}} \cr & = 66\,{\text{km/hr}} \cr & = \left( {66 \times \frac{5}{{18}}} \right)m/\sec \cr & = \left( {\frac{{55}}{3}} \right)m/\sec \cr & {\text{Time taken to pass the man}} = \left( {110 \times \frac{3}{{55}}} \right)\sec \cr & = 6\,\sec \cr} $$
