Correct Answer: 84
Solution : Man's speed in m/s = $12\text{ km/hr} \times \frac{5}{18} = 12 \times \frac{5}{18}\ \mathrm{ m/s} = \frac{10}{3}\text{ m/s}$ We know that the train crosses a 130-meter-long man in $\frac{13}{2}$ seconds. $\therefore$ Relative speed = $\frac{130\ \mathrm{m}}{\frac{13}{2}\mathrm{s}} = 20\text{ m/s}$ Relative speed = (Train's speed in m/s) – (Man's speed in m/s) $⇒20=$ (Train's speed in m/s) $-\frac{10}{3}$ $\therefore$ Train's speed in m/s = $20\text{ m/s} + \frac{10}{3}\text{ m/s} = \frac{70}{3} \text{ m/s}$ Now, Train's speed in km/hr = $\frac{70}{3} \times \frac{18}{5} = 84\text{ km/hr}$ Hence, the correct answer is 84.
