Distance between the person and the place where the gun was fired is 5 kilometres.
Total time taken for the sound to reach the person is 5 km.
We know,
= > Speed = Distance / time
= > Speed of sound = ( 5 km ) / 8 sec
= > Speed of sound = ( 5 x 1000 m ) / 8 s
= > Speed of sound = 5000 m / 8 s
Hence the speed of sound was 625 m / s.
