Explanation:
Velocity of transverse wave Vt = 5.09 km/s
Velocity of longitudinal wave Vl = 8.5512 km/s
Let earthquake occurred d km away .
Time taken by transverse wave to travel d distance
= d / 5.09 s
Time taken by longitudinal wave to travel d distance
= d / 8.5512 s
According to question
.19646 d - .11694 d = 64.9
.07952 d = 64.9
d = 816.15 km .
