उत्तर
(i) The diver would hear the sound first.
(ii) Because the velocity of sound in water (1450 ms-1) is more than the velocity of sound in air (332 ms-1).
(iii) Time taken by sound to reach the diver would be less than t, where t is the time taken by sound to reach the boatman.
Note: Time taken by sound to reach the diver would be 4.36 times less than the time taken by sound to reach the boatman.
