Solution

The correct option is C (iii), (i), (ii)
$1.$ The speed of the sound depends upon the density of the medium.
$2.$ The sound propagates faster through the medium with high density and sound propagates slower through the medium with low density.
$3.$ So, sound travels fastest through solids, faster through the liquid, and slower through the gas.
The velocity of sound in a medium is inversely proportional to the square root of its density.
$4.$ Here, steel is a solid, water is liquid and nitrogen is gas. So, the ascending order of speed in them is:
Nitrogen, Water, Steel.
