A gas is taken in a closed transparent tube, some lycopodium powder is spread within the tube, and the tube is placed horizontally. When the mouth of the tube is vibrated with a tuning fork of frequency \(1~\text{kHz,}\) and the length of the tube is adjusted: the powder is observed to collect in a wave-like pattern with adjacent 'maxima' separated by \(20~\text{cm}.\) The speed of sound in the gas is:
| 1. | \(100~\text{m/s}\) | 2. | \(200~\text{m/s}\) |
| 3. | \(400~\text{m/s}\) | 4. | \(800~\text{m/s}\) |

A stone is dropped from the top of a hillock and the sound of it striking the ground is heard \(4.25~\text s\) later. The speed of sound in air is \(320~\text {m/s}\) and the value of \(g\) is \(10~\text {m/s}^2.\)
The time, required by the stone to reach the bottom, is:
1. \(4~\text s\)
2. \(2.125~\text s\)
3. \(0.25~\text s\)
4. \(2~\text s\)
