  1. Two rifles are fired from the same place at a difference of 11 min. 45 seconds. But a man who is coming towards the same place in a train hears the second sound after 11 minutes. Find the speed of the train (Assuming speed of sound = 330 m/s).
    1. 72 km/h
    2. 36 km/h
    3. 81 km/h
    4. 108 km/h
Correct Option: C

Difference of time = 11 minutes 45 seconds – 11 minutes = 45 seconds
Distance covered by sound in 45 seconds = Distance covered by train in 11 minutes
⇒  330 × 45 = 11 × 60 × Speed of train

⇒  Speed of train =
330 × 45
m/sec.
11 × 60

=
