A hunter fired two shots from the branch of a tree at an interval of 76 seconds. A tiger separating too fast hears the two shots at an interval of 83 seconds. If the velocity of the sound is 1195.2 km/h, then find the speed of tiger?

112.8 km/h
100.8 km/h
80.16 km/h
none of these

Correct Answer: 100.8 km/h

Explanation:

In case of increasing gap between two objects.
Speed of sound / speed of tiger = Time utilised / Difference in time
⇒ 1195.2 / x = 83 / 7
x = 100.8 km/h
