Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Solution: Find the time taken for the train to pass the man.
Relative speed (opposite directions) = 60 km/h + 6 km/h = 66 km/h.
Convert relative speed to m/s: 66 × 5/18 = 55/3 m/s.
Distance to be covered = length of train = 110 m. Time = distance ÷ speed = 110 ÷ (55/3) = 110 × 3/55 = 6 seconds.
Answer: 6 seconds.
