How many seconds will a 500m long train travelling from Sairang to Guwahati take to cross a man walking with a speed of 3km/hr in the direction of the moving train if the speed of train is 63km/hr?

A) 15 sec
B) 30 sec
C) 45 sec
D) 10 sec
Step-by-step solution: 1. **Identify the given values:** - Length of the train (Distance to be covered) = 500 m - Speed of the train ($V_t$) = 63 km/hr - Speed of the man ($V_m$) = 3 km/hr - Direction: Both are moving in the same direction (Sairang to Guwahati). 2. **Calculate Relative Speed:** When two objects move in the same direction, the relative speed is the difference between their speeds. Relative Speed = $V_t - V_m = 63 ext{ km/hr} - 3 ext{ km/hr} = 60 ext{ km/hr}$. 3. **Convert Relative Speed to meters per second (m/s):** To convert km/hr to m/s, multiply by $5/18$. Relative Speed = $60 imes (5/18) = 300/18 = 50/3 ext{ m/s}$ (approximately 16.67 m/s). 4. **Calculate Time taken to cross:** The formula for time is $\text{Time} = \text{Distance} / \text{Relative Speed}$. $\text{Time} = 500 / (50/3)$ $\text{Time} = 500 imes (3/50)$ $\text{Time} = 10 imes 3 = 30 ext{ seconds}$. Therefore, the train will take 30 seconds to cross the man. Option (b) is correct.
