    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    Speed of train relative to man = (60 + 6) km/hr = 66 km/hr.

       =  \([ 66 * \frac { 5 } { 18 } ]\)     m/sec
     
       = \([\frac { 55 } { 3 }]\)     m/sec.
     
     Time taken to pass the man = [\( 110 *\frac { 3 } { 55 } ]\)       sec = 6 sec.
