  1. To hear a clear echo, the minimum distance should be
    1. 165 feet
    2. 165 meter
    3. 16.5 feet
    4. 16.5 meter
Correct Option: D

to hear a clear echo, the minimum distance should be 16.5 metre.
To hear an echo, time = 1/10 s
Velocity of sound (in air) = 330 ms -1
Time = 2d / Velocity of sound in air
⇒ 1/10 = 2d/330
∴ d = 16.5 metre.
