speed of sound in air = 346m/s
speed of sound in aluminium rod = 6420m/s
let the length of the rod be x
we know,
time = distance/speed
time taken in air = x/346
time taken in aluminium rod = x/6420
ratio =(x/346)/(x/6420)
= x/346 * 6420/x [reciprocal]
x would get cancelled
= 6420/346
after cancelling
= 18.55
