Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation:
Relative speed = (250/10) m/s = 25 m/s = 90 kmph. Speed of train = relative speed + man's speed = 90 + 5 = 95 kmph. (Man running same direction, so train overtakes, relative speed = train speed - man speed). So train speed = 25 m/s + 5 kmph? 25 m/s = 90 kmph, man 5 kmph, so train 95 kmph. Yes.
