(A) 23 m/s
(B) 34 m/s
(C) 45 m/s
(D) 50 m/s
Correct Option is: C
First girl speed = 9km/hr
= 9 * 5 / 18 m/s
= 5/2 m/s
= 2.5 m/s
second girl speed = 10.8 km/hr
= 10.8 * 5/18 m/s
= 54/18
= 3 m/s
Let the speed of the train be x m/s and speed of the train = distance / time
(x – 2.5 ) * 16.8 = (x – 3) * 17
16.8x – 42 = 17x – 51
0.2x = 9
x = 45
Therefore the speed of the train is 45 m/s
