A train 7

A train overtakes two persons. They are walking in the same direction as the train at the rate of 2 km/hr and 4 km/hr. The train passes them completely in 9 and 10 seconds respectively. Find the length of the train.

Correct answer:

x =  50 m

Step-by-step explanation:

v1=2 km/h m/s=2:3.6  m/s=0.55556 m/s v2=4 km/h m/s=4:3.6  m/s=1.11111 m/s t1=9 s t2=10 s  t1 =  vv1x t2 =  vv2x  t1 (vv1)=x t2 (vv2)=x 9 (v0.55555555555556)=x 10 (v1.1111111111111)=x  9vx=5 10vx=11.111111  Pivot:Row1Row2 10vx=11.11 9vx=5  Row2109 Row1Row2 10vx=11.11 0.1x=5  x=0.15=50 v=1011.11111111+x=1011.11111111+50=6.11111111  v=9556.111111 x=50=50 m
