The ratio of the speed of sound in nitrogen gas to that in helium gas,at $300 K$ is

Earthquakes generate sound waves inside the earth. Unlike a gas,the earth can experience both transverse $(S)$ and longitudinal $(P)$ sound waves. Typically,the speed of $S$ wave is about $4.0 \; km/s$,and that of $P$ wave is $8.0 \; km/s$. $A$ seismograph records $P$ and $S$ waves from an earthquake. The first $P$ wave arrives $4 \; min$ before the first $S$ wave. Assuming the waves travel in a straight line,at what distance (in $km$) does the earthquake occur?

An engine approaches a hill with a constant speed. When it is at a distance of $0.9 \, km$,it blows a whistle whose echo is heard by the driver after $5 \, s$. If the speed of sound in air is $330 \, m/s$,then the speed of the engine is .... $m/s$.
