Two friends A and B are standing at a distance x apart in an open field and wind is blowing at a constant velocity u from A to B. A beats a drum and B hears its sound time $t_{1}$ after he sees the event. A and B interchange their position and A beats the drum again. This time B hears the drum time $t_{2}$ after he sees the event. Neglect the time light takes in travelling between the friends. Wind is continuously blowing in the same direction. Choose the correct options.

An Intiative by Sri Chaitanya

Velocity of wind, $u = x (\frac{1}{t_{1}} - \frac{1}{t_{2}})$

Velocity of sound in still air, $v = x (\frac{1}{t_{1}} + \frac{1}{t_{2}})$

Velocity of sound in still air, $v = \frac{x}{2} (\frac{1}{t_{1}} + \frac{1}{t_{2}})$

Velocity of wind, $u = \frac{x}{2} (\frac{1}{t_{1}} - \frac{1}{t_{2}})$

answer is B, C.

Detailed Solution

$\frac{x}{v + u} = t_{1} \Rightarrow v + u = \frac{x}{t_{1}}; \frac{x}{v - u} = t_{2} \Rightarrow v - u = \frac{x}{t_{2}}$

$v = \frac{x}{2} (\frac{1}{t_{1}} + \frac{1}{t_{2}}); u = \frac{x}{2} (\frac{1}{t_{1}} - \frac{1}{t_{2}})$
