Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The sound's speed is proportional to its temperature. When the temperature rises, so do the speed of sound. Summer temperatures are higher than in the winter, so sound travels faster in the summer. The speed of sound in a medium depends on temperature. As the temperature of the medium rises, the particles collide more frequently, causing the disturbance to spread faster.
As a result, sound travels faster as medium temperature rises and vice versa. Because the temperature is higher in the summer, sound travels faster.
