v \alpha \sqrt T \Rightarrow \sqrt{\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}} = \frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} \Rightarrow T_{2} = T_{1}\left [\left ( \frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} \right )^{2} \right ]\Rightarrow T_{2} = 273 X 4 = 1092 K

 

Effect of temperature on speed of sound -

\because \frac{P}{\rho }= \frac{RT}{M}

\therefore V= \sqrt{\frac{\gamma RT}{M}}

 

- wherein

V \alpha \sqrt{T}

T is in Kelvin

So velocity increses with increase in temperature.
