Hi Shreya

Nice gesture that u r trying to help the CSE community...but just wanted to ask u whether u r sure of the answers you r posing?

For ex in set 2, as per my understanding the seismic waves travel faster in the medium with higher density...so it should be either soil or soft rock which I presume is denser than water.

Do let me know what u think.
