Given:

Speed of Raj =2 km\h

Speed of Madhur =4 km\h

Train taken to overtake Raj =9 sec

Train taken to overtake Madhur =10 sec.

Formula used:

Speed = Distance/time

km/h × 5/18=m/sec

Calculation:

When two bodies move in the same direction, then

Relative speed = Difference of their speeds

Let the length and speed of the train is x and V.

Speed of Raj is  

Speed of Madhur 

 Relative speed of the train and Raj  

  

 Relative speed of train and Madhur 

   

Now we can write

Hence the length of the train is 50 m.
