A train of \(150 \mathrm{~m}\) length is going towards north direction at a speed of \(10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\). A parrot flies at the speed of \(5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) towards south direction parallel to the railway track. The time for which the parrot flies alongside the train is

  1. A \(12 \mathrm{~s}\)
  2. B \(30 \mathrm{~s}\)
  3. C \(10 \mathrm{~s}\)
  4. D \(5 \mathrm{~s}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(10 \mathrm{~s}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to question, Relative velocity of parrot with respect to the train, \(\begin{aligned} v_{p t} & =v_t-v_p \\ & =10-(-5) \\ & =10+5=15 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \end{aligned}\) \(\therefore\) Time taken by the parrot to fly along side the train is given as…
