Question

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

Answer 1

The train will pass the jogger in 36 seconds.

Length of train = 120m

Speed of train = 45kmph

Distance by which the jogger is ahead of the engine of the train = 240 m

Speed of jogger = 9 kmph

To pass the jogger, the train will have to cover the length of the train and the distance by which the jogger is ahead of the engine of train.

Hence,

Distance = 120 + 240 = 360m

As,

Time = Distance/Speed

Relative speed of train w.r.t jogger = 45 - 9 = 36 kmph = 10 m/s

Hence,

Time = 360/10 = 36 seconds.
