• Sound travels fastest in diamond, with a speed of approximately 12,000 meters per second (m/s).
• This is because diamond has a very high stiffness and density, which allows sound waves to propagate quickly through the material.

The speeds of sound in different materials:

• Air: 343 m/s
• Water: 1433 m/s
• Wood: 3300-3600 m/s
• Brick: 4176 m/s
• Steel: 6100 m/s
• Diamond: 12000 m/s

Given Four digits are 0,3,5,8

To write the smallest 4-digit numbers using the above digits, we must arrange them in ascending order.

Here, we get

0358 = 358 [It has only 3 digits ]

3058

Therefore,

The smallest 4-digit number using

0,3,5,8 is 3058.
