A person walks up a stalled escalator in 90 s. When standingon the same escalator, now moving, he is carried in 60 s.The time it would take him to walk up the moving escalator will be:

A

27s

B

72s

C

18 s

D

36s

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
speed of man `(v_(m))=(d)/(90)`
speed of escaltor `(v_(s))=(d)/(60)`
`t=(d)/(v_(m)+v_(s))=(d)/((d)/(900)+(d)/(90))=(60xx90)/(150)=36` sec
