Description : A train overtakes two persons walking along a railway track. The first one walks at 4.5 km/hr. The other one walks at 5.4 km/hr. The train needs 8.4 and 8.5 seconds respectively to overtake them. What is the speed ... as the train? A.59 km/hr B.65 km/hr C.70 km/hr D.81 km/hr E. None of these

Last Answer : Answer-D (81 km/hr) Explanation4.5 km/hr =(4.5 x 5/18)m/sec =5m/4sec = 1.25 m/sec, and 5.4 km/hr =(5.4 x 5/18)m/sec =3m/2sec = 1.5 m/sec. Let the speed of the train be x m/sec. Then, (x - 1.25) ... - 12.75 => 0.1x = 2.25 => x = 22.5 Therefore Speed of the train =(22.5 x18 /5)km/hr = 81 km/hr.
