A person shooting at a target from a distance of 450 metres finds that the sound of the bullet hitting the target comes 1 / 2 seconds after he fired. A person equidistant from the target and shooting point hears the bullet hit 3 seconds after he heard the gun. The speed of sound is



A) 300 m/s

B) 350 m/s

C) 250 m/s

D) 400 m/s

Correct answer:
A) 300 m/s

Description for Correct answer:

Average speed = \( \Large \frac{Total \  distance }{Total \  time} \)

S = \( \Large \frac{450 m}{1\frac{1}{2}s}\)

=300 m/s
