A 440 m long train is running at 240 km/h. In what time will it pass a man running in the direction opposite to that of the train at 24 km/h?

A) 9 s
B) 6 s
C) 12 s
D) 4 s

Correct Answer:


B) 6 s

Description for Correct answer:

Speed of the train relative to man

= (240 + 24) km/h = 264 km/h

= \( \Large 264 \times \frac{5}{18}m/s = \frac{220}{3} m/s \)

Distance covered in passing the man = 440 m

Time taken = \( \Large \frac{440}{220} \times 3 \) = 6 s
