A person walks up a stalled 15 m long escalator in 90 s. When standing on the same escalator now moving, the person is carried up in 60 s. How much time would it take that person to walk up the moving escalator? . Does the answer depend on the length of the escalator?

a
45 s
b
55 s
c
58 s
d
36 s

detailed solution

Correct option is D

v1= speed of person  v2= speed of escalator      v1=1t1 and v2=1t2 ∴  t=1v1+v2=11t1+1t2 =t1t2t1+t2=90×6090+60=36 s
