A car is moving with a speed of \(72 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\) towards a hill. Car blows horn at a distance of \(1800 \mathrm{~m}\) from the hill. If echo is heard after \(10 \mathrm{~s}\), the speed of sound (in \(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) ) is

  1. A \(300\)
  2. B \(320\)
  3. C \(340\)
  4. D \(360\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(340\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The speed of the car is \(72 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\) \[ =72 \times \frac{5}{18}=20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \] The distance travelled by car in \(10 \mathrm{~s}\) \[ =10 \times 20=200 \mathrm{~m} \] Hence, the distance travelled by sound in reaching the hill and coming back…
