speed of the plane in still air.

Answer: C) Plane: 235 km/h, Wind: 24 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Average Speed while flying with a tailwind = 259km/hr

Return trip = 211km/hr

Let the speed of airplane = a, and wind speed = w

Therefore ;

Average Speed while flying with a tailwind = 259km/hr

a + w = 259 - - - (1)

Return trip = 211km/hr

a - w = 211 - - - (2)

From (2)

a = 211 + w

Substitute the value of a into (1)

a + w = 259

211 + w + w = 259

211 + 2w = 259

2w = 259 - 211

2w = 48

w = 48/2

w = 24km = windspeed

Substituting w = 24 into (2)

a - 24 = 211

a = 211 + 24

a = 235km = speed of airplane
