    A 320 m long train moving with an average speed of 120 km/h crosses a platform in 24 s. A man crosses the same platform in 4 min. What is the speed of man in m/s?

    A)  2.4

    B)  1.5   

    C)  1.6

    D)  2.0

    E)  None of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Speed of the train =120 km/h
    \[=120\times \frac{5}{18}=\frac{100}{3}m/s\]
    Suppose the length of the platform = x m
    Then, \[\frac{x+320}{\frac{100}{3}}=24\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[3\,(x+320)=100\times 24\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x+320=800\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x=800-320=480\,m\]
    Hence, speed of a man \[=\frac{480}{4\times 60}m/s=2\,m/s\]
