Solution

The correct option is B 6 seconds
The train traveling 110m long is traveling at 60 km/hr
The time it will cross a cyclist moving at 6km/hr
Change 110 m to .110 km
a) in the same direction
t = {.110/(60-6)}×3600; changed hrs to seconds
t = 7.33 seconds
b) in the opposite direction
t = {.110/(60+6)}×3600
t = 6 seconds
So option B is the correct answer.
