How this came?

It should be 700 rather than 675.

As Vair = Vground - Vwind = 775 - 75 = 700 knots.

Chintu said:   9 years ago
You are right @Afzal.

Zia Ur Rehman said:   8 years ago
Yes, right @Afzal.

Sadulla said:   8 years ago
675 knots is the nearest answer.

Maan Singh said:   7 years ago
It should be 775-75=700.

Abdullah khan said:   7 years ago
It should be 700.

It is 850knot the air blowing speed is in the same direction so 775+75 = 850knots,
If it is in the opposite direction.
775-75 = 700knots.

Right @Haroon.

775+75=850 is the correct answer.

Right, Thanks @Haroon.
