Train A and train B are running on parallel tracks in opposite directions with speed of 36 km/hour and 72 km/hour, respectively. A person is walking in train A in the direction opposite to its motion with a speed of 1.8 km/hour. Speed (in ms⁻¹) of this person as observed from train B will be close to: (take the distance between the tracks as negligible)

V? = 36 km/hr = 10 m/s
V? = -72 km/hr = -20 m/s
V? = -1.8 km/hr = -0.5 m/s
V? = V? + V?
= V? + V? - V?
= -0.5 + 10 – (-20)
= -0.5 + 30 = 29.5 m/s
