Please find below the solution to the asked query:
Case I. When the rate of drum beating is 40 per minute
Therefore, the interval between two drum beats = 60/40 = 1.5 s
Let the distance between the mountain and the man be x m.
Speed of sound, v=2xt=2x1.5=4x3 .....(1)
Case II. When the man moves 80 m towards the mountain
Speed of sound, v=2(x−80)t=2(x−80)1=2x−160 .....(2)From eq. (1) and (2),2x−160=4x3⇒6x−480=4x⇒2x=480⇒x=240 m
Hope this information will clear your doubts about the numerical on echo.
