Answer

t = $\dfrac{2d}{V}$

Reason — For an echo to be heard, sound must travel from the listener to the obstacle and then back to the listener, covering a total distance of $2d$ . If $V$ is the speed of sound, then the time taken $t$ is:

$t = \dfrac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Speed}} = \dfrac{2d}{V}$
