Answer : 3. "31.4208 and 62.8416"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 31.4208 and 62.8416 Explanation: Birds speeds in mtrs/sec is 'x' and '2x' .While flying from Engine to end, relative speed = (x+10) m/secfrom end to engine, flying speed = (2x - 10) mtr/secso 1000/(x+10) + 1000/(2x-10) = 187.5 secssolving it, we getso x = 8.728 m/sec and 2x= 17.456 m/sec x = 31.4208 km/hr and 2x = 62.8416 km/hr.
