A jogger running at 9 kmph alongside a railway track is 240 metres ahead of the engine of a 120 metre long train running at 45 kmph in the same direction. In how much time will the train pass the jogger ? Choices:
A) 3.6 sec B) 18 sec C) 36 sec D) 72 sec E) none

Rationale: category formulae examples directions : problems based on trains . 11 . a train 280 m long , running with a speed of 63 km / hr will pass a tree in a . 15 sec . b . 16 sec . c . 18 sec . d . 20 sec . solution speed = ( 63 x 5 / 18 ) m / sec = 35 / 2 msec time taken = ( 280 x 2 / 35 ) m / sec = 16 sec . 12 . a train running at the speed of 60 km / hr crosses a pole in 9 seconds . what is ihe length of the train ? a . 120 metres b . 180 metres c . 324 metres d . none of these solution 13 . a jogger running at 9 kmph alongside a railway track is 240 metres ahead of the engine of a 120 metre long train running at 45 kmph in the same direction . in how much time will the train pass the jogger ? a . 3.6 sec b . 18 sec c . 36 sec d . 72 sec solution speed of train relative to jogger = ( 45 - 9 ) km / hr = 36 km / hr = ( 36 x 5 / 18 ) m / sec = 10 m / sec distance covered = ( 240 + 120 ) m = 360 m time taken = ( 360 / 10 ) sec = 36 sec . answer c
Answer: C
