Correct Answer: 81 km/h
Solution :
Given:
Time interval between two rifle fires = 11 minutes 45 seconds = 705 seconds
Time taken for the man to hear the second sound = 11 minutes = 660 seconds
Formula used:
Distance travelled by the man on a train in 11 minutes = distance travelled by sound in (11 min 45 sec - 11 min) = 45 sec.
Let the speed of the train be $x$ kmph.
Now,
$x\times \frac{11}{60}=\frac{45}{3600}\times 330\times \frac{18}{5}$
$x$ = 81 km/h
The speed of the train is 81 km/h.
Hence, the correct answer is 81 km/h.
