A man standing between two parallel cliffs and fires a gun and hears two successive echoes after 4 second and 6 second the distance between the cliffs is (Speed of sound 330 ms-1)

  (a)  1600 m  (b) 1650 cm  (c) 1650 m  (d)1590 m

 See ... its option C which is 1650 m ...

bcoz... use formula---- 2 * distance = speed of sound * time taken...

do it for both 4 s and 6 sec...

 you willl get 660 m and 990 metres,... add both to get total distance... ------ 1650 metres
