Solution

Speed of sound depends on the medium in which it travels. Sound cannot travel through vacuum. Hence, its speed in vacuum is zero. Sound travels faster in liquids than in gases, and faster in solids than in liquids. So, the correct order of the speed will be: Vacuum < Gas < Liquid < Solid.
