it is very simple -


 


from given data s= 48m ; u = 10 m/s ; a = 1 m/s^2    t=?


 


formula


 



 



 



 


this is a quadratic  equation


 


 t =  8 s     or     12 s


 


therefore minimum time from the above answer is  8 seconds then answer is  b


 


is proof  is correct?

Let time taken by boy be t.

the distance travelled by boy is d=10t

distance covered by train in this time is d-48

for train
d-48=1/2 a t^2
10t-48=1/2t^2
t^2-20t+96=0
(t-12)(t-8)=0

t=12 or t=8

So minimum time t is 8 secs.

rate me if you find this useful

the process is...
d person has to travel....48+10t
which should be equal to d distance travelled by d train...

so 48+10t=1/2t*2

so t=8,12
