A Superfast train overtakes two persons walking along a railway track. The first one walks at 9 km/hr. The other one walks at 10.8 km/hr. The train needs 16.8and 17seconds respectively to overtake them. ... are walking in the same direction as the train? A) 250 kmph B) 487kmph C) 162kmph D) 312kmph
Answer : ANSWER:C Explanation:  Given that the first one walks at 9 km/hr convert the speed in the unit of m/sec  9 km/hr = (9*5/18) m/s  = 5/2 m/s  = 2.5 m/s  Another one walks at 10.8 km/hr ... the speed in the unit of km/hr  Speed of the train = (45*18/5)kmph  Speed of the train = 162 km/ hr...
