Solution

The correct option is C
11.47 s

Sound needs time to reach places, let time required by stone to reach the pond be to

$S = u t + a t_{2}$

$- 500 = - \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times t_{1}^{2}$

$t_{1} = 10 s$

time taken by sound to reach the top = $\frac{d i s t a n c e}{s p e e d}$

$t_{2} = 1.47 s$

total time after which splash is heard = $t_{1} + t_{2}$

= 10 + 1.47 = 11.47 s
