A person walks up a stalled escalator in \(80 \mathrm{sec}\). When standing on the same escalator, now moving, he is carried up in 20 s. The time taken by him to walk up the moving escalator is

  1. A \(4 \mathrm{~s}\)
  2. B \(8 \mathrm{~s}\)
  3. C \(12 \mathrm{~s}\)
  4. D \(16 \mathrm{~s}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(16 \mathrm{~s}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let distance travelled \(=\mathrm{D}\) Speed of a person walks up \(v_1=\frac{D}{80}\) Speed of escalator \(v_2=\frac{D}{20}\) Total speed \(\mathrm{v}=\mathrm{v}_1+\mathrm{v}_2 20\)…
