Question

A 600 m long train crosses a stationary man in 2 minutes.What is the speed of the train?
1. 5 m/s
2. 6 m/s
3. 3 m/s
4. 2 m/s

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 5 m/s

Given

Length of a train = 600 m

Time = 2 minutes

Formula used

Speed = Distance/Time

1 minute = 60 seconds 

Calculation

Speed = 600/120

(2 minute = 60 × 2 = 120 seconds)

Speed = 5m /s

∴ Speed of the train is 5m/s
