8 0

Answer:

Option (4)

Explanation:

Here, Speed of light= 3\times10^5 Km/sec

Distance= 1.5\times10^8 Km

We know that,

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}

\implies Time=\frac{Distance}{Speed}

Time=\frac{1.5\times10^8}{3\times 10^5}

=0.5 \times10^3

=500 sec

=8 minutes 20 sec

Hence, the correct answer is option (4) i.e 8 minutes.
