How does the speed of a sound wave depend on the absolute temperature of air?

The velocity of sound measured at a given temperature in oxygen and hydrogen is in the ratio of:

$A$ car is moving with a speed of $72 \,km/h$ towards a hill. The car blows its horn at a distance of $1800 \,m$ from the hill. If the echo is heard after $10 \,s$,the speed of sound (in $m/s$) is:

Match Column - $A$ with Column - $B$.
Column - $A$ Column - $B$
$(a)$ Speed of longitudinal waves in gas and liquid. $(i)$ $v = \sqrt{\frac{B}{\rho}}$
$(b)$ Speed of longitudinal waves in solid rod. $(ii)$ $v = \sqrt{\frac{Y}{\rho}}$
$(c)$ Speed of sound in air according to Newton. $(iii)$ $v = \sqrt{\frac{P}{\rho}}$
$(d)$ Speed of sound in air according to Laplace. $(iv)$ $v = \sqrt{\frac{\gamma P}{\rho}}$

$Assertion :$ The base of Laplace correction was that exchange of heat between the region of compression and rarefaction in air is negligible.
$Reason :$ Air is a bad conductor of heat and the velocity of sound in air is quite large.
