Sound produced at a point is heard by a person after 5 second, while the same sound is heard by another person after 6 seconds. If the speed of sound is 300 m/s, what could be the maximum and minimum distances between the two persons?
A. 1.8 km, 0.15 km
B. 2.2 km, 0.20 km
C. 2.8 km, 0.25 km
D. 3.3 km, 0.30 km
Answer: Option D
Solution (By Examveda Team)
3.3 km, 0.30 km.
DISTANCE = SPEED * TIME TAKEN
d1=300*5=1500
d2=300*6=1800
maximum distance=d1+d2
=1500+1800
=3300 metres=3.3km
minimum distance=d2-d1
=1800-1500
=300 metres=0.3km
