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

A    3.6 sec

B    18 sec

C    36 sec

D    72 sec

Solution

Correct Answer: Option C

 

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

 

   =36/18  x 5m/sec   = 10 m/sec.

 

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

 Time taken = 360 sec     = 36 sec.
