What is the effect of pressure on the speed of sound in a medium,if pressure is doubled at constant temperature?

$A$ firecracker exploding on the surface of a lake is heard as two sounds a time interval $t$ apart by a man on a boat close to the water surface. Sound travels with a speed $u$ in water and a speed $v$ in air. The distance from the exploding firecracker to the boat is

The Earth has a radius of $6400 \ km$. The inner core of $1000 \ km$ radius is solid. Outside it,there is a region from $1000 \ km$ to a radius of $3500 \ km$ which is in a molten state. Then again from $3500 \ km$ to $6400 \ km$,the Earth is solid. Only longitudinal $(P)$ waves can travel inside a liquid. Assume that the $P$ wave has a speed of $8 \ kms^{-1}$ in solid parts and of $5 \ kms^{-1}$ in liquid parts of the Earth. An earthquake occurs at some place close to the surface of the Earth. Calculate the time after which it will be recorded in a seismometer at a diametrically opposite point on the Earth if the wave travels along the diameter.
