    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    Speed of the train relative to man =  \([\frac { 25 } { 10 } ]\) m/sec                                        

                                                           = \([\frac { 25 } { 2 } ]\) m/sec

                                                           = \([\frac { 25 } { 2 } \) x \(\frac { 18 } { 5 } ]\)km/hr

                                                            = 45 km/hr 

     

    Let the speed of the train be x km/hr. Then, relative speed = (x - 5) km/hr.  

     

     x - 5 = 45          x = 50 km/hr.
