AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we will break it down into steps: ### Step 1: Understand the scenario A man fires a gun, and the sound travels to two parallel hills, creating echoes. The time taken to hear the first echo is 2 seconds, and the time taken to hear the second echo is 3 seconds after the first echo. ### Step 2: Calculate the distance for the first echo The sound travels to the first hill and back, covering a distance of \(2d_1\) in 2 seconds. ...
