A train overtakes a person walking at 1 m/s in 5 s.
If the speed of the train is 65 m/s, then what is the length of the train?

A

300 m

B

320 m

C

400 m

D

400 m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Relative speed = 65-1 = 64 m/s
`therefore " Length of the train" = " Relative Speed" xx "Time"`
`= 65 xx 5 = 320 m`
Hence, the correct option is (b).
