A train passes a man standing on the platform. If the train is 170 meters long and its speed is 72 kmph, how much time it took in doing so?

  • A.10 ½ sec
  • B.9 ½ sec
  • C.8 ¾ sec
  • D.8 ½ sec

Answer: D

\[ 1 \text{ kmph} = \frac{5}{18} \text{ m/s} \]

\[ 72 \text{ kmph} = 20 \text{ m/s} \]

A man is a point, so only the train's own length is covered:

\[ t = \frac{170}{20} = 8.5 = 8\tfrac{1}{2} \text{ sec} \]
