Let say Velocity of Train = V  at the time of 2nd last boggie start crossing Man
Distance Covered in 3 sec
S = V3  + (1/2)a3²
S = 3V + 4.5a
Distance Covered in 2 secs
Distance Covered in 5 sec - Distance Covered in 3 sec
S = 5V + 12.5a - 3V - 4.5a  = 2V +  8a
as length of boggies are equal
3V + 4.5a = 2V +  8a
=> V = 3.5a
V = 0 + at
=> 3.5a = 0 + at
=> t = 3.5
passenger is 3.5 sec late for the departure of the train​
 
Hope it helps
