Can a Man Jump in a Moving Train and Land on the Same Spot?

[darkness_limits]

if a man is standing on a point "A" inside a train moving at a very high speed then he jumped . will he land on the same point A?

Most certainly yes (if there is no air friction, or the room he is in is closed).
If the room is open, so the air outside will push the man a little bit backwards.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Yes, provided the train is traveling at a uniform velocity. You could consider the Earth traveling through space as your "train". If you were to jump you would land on the same spot, yes?
