⇒ Speed with which the man is moving = Speed of ship = 30 km/hr         

⇒ Speed of train = 78 km/hr

As, the train is coming towards the ship, this means that the man and the train are moving in opposite directions, hence, their relative speed is the sum of their individual speeds

⇒ Relative speed of man & train = 30 + 78 = 108 km/hr = 108 × (5/18) = 30 m/sec

Now,

⇒ Time taken to cross the man = Length of train/Relative speed of man & train = 210/30 = 7 sec
