Answer:

Should not believe her because the time taken is too short.

Explanation:

Time taken for echo to reach Earth = 48 min

Time taken by radio wave to reach Jupiter = 24 min

Distance between Earth and Jupiter when closest = 588 million kilometers = 588×10⁹ m

Distance between Earth and Jupiter when farthest = 968 million kilometers = 968×10⁹ m

Speed of radio wave = Speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

Distance = Velocity × Time

⇒Distance = 3×10⁸×24×60

⇒Distance = 432×10⁹ m

Which does not fall under the range of distance of Jupiter. So, I should not believe her.
