Solution

The correct option is C 50 m/s
Applying 3rd equation of motion
v2=u2+2as
25×25=0+2×a×50
a=254 m/s2
Now for speed of the back part of the train as it passes the worker
We have v2=v2+2al
where l is the length of the train or distance covered by the back part to pass the worker
v2=252+2×254×150
v2=625+(25×75)=2500
v=50 m/s
