Answer
17 m
Reason — To hear the echo distinctly, the minimum distance between the source of sound (or observer) and the reflector in air must be 17 m because if the distance is less than 17 m, the reflected sound will reach the ears before the original sound dies out (i.e., before 0.1 s) and so no echo will be heard.
