Detailed Solution

$\frac{f_{l}}{f_{a}} = \frac{(μ - 1) μ_{l}}{(μ - μ_{l})}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{- 0 .5}{0 .2} = \frac{(1 .5 - 1)}{1 .5 - μ_{l}} \times μ_{l}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{- 5}{2} = \frac{μ_{l}}{2 (1 .5 - μ_{l})}$

$\Rightarrow - 15 + 10 μ_{l} = 2 μ_{l}$

$\Rightarrow μ_{l} = \frac{15}{8} = \frac{C}{V}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{15}{8} = \frac{3 \times 10^{8}}{V}$

$\Rightarrow V = 1 .6 \times 10^{8} {ms}^{- 1}$
