A jet plane flies through air with a velocity of 2 Mach. While the velocity of sound is 332 mis, the air speed of the plane is

A

166 m/s

B

66.4 km/s

C

332 m/s

D

664 m/s

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`"Mach Number "=("Speed of body in any medium")/("Speed of sound in that medium")`
According to question
`2=("velocity of jet plane")/(332)`
`664 m//s ="velocity of jet plane."`
