A train passes two men walking in the same direction as the train at 3 km/h and 5 km/h in 10 seconds and 11 seconds respectively. What is the speed of the train?
A. 25 km/h
B. 23 km/h
C. 27 km/h
D. 30 km/h
A. 25 km/h
B. 23 km/h
C. 27 km/h
D. 30 km/h
Best answer
Answer: A. 25 km/h
Answer: (A) 25 km/h
The train's length is the same both times: (v − 3) × 10 = (v − 5) × 11 (the \(\frac{5}{18}\) factor cancels).
10v − 30 = 11v − 55, so v = 25 km/h.
