1). 22.92 m (approximately) and 22 km/hour
2). 82.5 m (approximately) and 22.5 km/hour
3). 22.90 m (approximately) and 20.5 km/hour
4). 22.92 m (approximately) and 22.5 km/hour

Given,

Men 1 speed = 6 km/h

Men 2 speed = 15/2 km/h

Then,

Let the speed of train be M km and the length of the train be N meter.

Speed of train relative to men 1 = (M – 6) km/h = 1000(M – 6)/3600 m/s

Time taken to pass the man 1 = 5 sec

⇒ 5 = N / 1000(M – 6)

Speed of train relative to men 2 = (M – 15/2) km/h = 1000(M – 15/2)/3600 m/s

Time taken to pass man 2 = 11/2 sec

⇒ 11/2 = N / 1000(M – 15/2)

Solving equations,

⇒ 5/(11/2) = (M – 15/2)/(M – 6)

⇒ 10/11 = (2M – 15)/(2M – 12)

⇒ 20M – 120 = 22M – 165

⇒ M = 45/2 = 22.5km/h

Speed of train = 22.5 km/h

Then,

⇒ N = 5 × 1000 × (22.5 – 6)/3600

⇒ N = 22.92 m

∴ Length of train = 22.92 m
