With decrease in water vapiur content in air velocity of sound

What is the velocity of sound in air?

Actual water vapour content of atmosphere is

Chanukya was eager to know the time taken by sound to travel the same distance in water and air. So, he set a body on vibration with a frequency of 250 Hz in air and the sound produced bu this is heard at a distance of 175 m. Now if the body is vibrated in water, what is the difference in the time taken by the sound to travel the same distance in water and air ? (The velocity of sound in air and water is 350 ms^(-1) and 1400 ms^(-1) , respectively).

Discuss the effect of temperature and density on the velocity of sound in air.
