A train of 150 m length is going towards north direction at a speed of 10 ~m / s . A parrot flies at a speed of 5 ~m / s towards south direction parallel to the railway track, the time taken by the parrot to cross the train is equal to
Options
- A12 s
- B8 s
- C15 s
- D10 s
Correct answer
D. 10 s
Step-by-step solution
Relative velocity of the parrot w.r.t. the train [10-(-5)]=(10-(-5)) m / s =15 ~m / s Time taken by the parrot to cross the train = 150 15 =10 ~s
