Solution

The correct option is D

10s


Step1: Given data and assumptions.

Length of the train, l=150m

Speed of the train, vt=10ms-1

Speed of the parrot, vb=5ms-1

Step2: Find the time taken by the parrot to cross the train.

We have

From the figure the relative velocity of the parrot with respect to the train,

vr=vt-vb

Where vr is the relative velocity.

vr=10--5

vr=15ms

Now,

The time taken by the parrot to cross the train=lvr =15015=10s

Hence, option D is correct.
