Assume that the length of the escalator is $$1$$ ,the speed at which the person walks is $$\frac{1} {90}$$ and the speed of the escalator is $$\frac{1} {60}$$.So,the speed at which he moves up the moving escalator is $$\frac{1} {90} +\frac{1} {60} =\frac{5} {180}=\frac{1} {36}$$.So,it takes 36 seconds for him to walk up the moving escalator.
