  1. A train, 240 m long crosses a man walking along the line in opposite direction at the rate of 3 kmph in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is
    1. 63 kmph
    2. 75 kmph
    3. 83.4 kmph
    4. 86.4 kmph
Correct Option: C

If the speed of train be x kmph then,
Its relative speed = (x + 3) kmph

∴  Time =
Length of the train
Relative Speed

⇒ 
10
3600

240
= 1000
x + 3

=
240
1000(x + 3)

⇒  x + 3 = 86.4
⇒  x = 83.4 kmph
