You ride a bike at a constant speed of u m/s and a train is running at a constant speed of v m/s. When you ride a bike in the same direction as the train, it takes the train five times the time to pass you as it does when you are riding in the opposite direction. Find how many times faster than the bike is the train (that is find the ratiovu)..

LetLength of the train=xCase I: (Same direction)Time taken to to pass, t1=xv-uCase II: (Opposite direction)Time taken to to pass, t2=xv+uGiven that,t1=5t2xv-u=5xv+u1v-u=5v+uv+u=5v-5u6u=4vvu=64     =32
