An earthquake generates both transverse \( (S) \) and longitudinal \( (P) \) sound waves in the earth. The speed of \( S \) waves is about \( 4.5 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s} \) and that of \( P \) waves is about \( 8.0 \)
\( \mathrm{P} \) \( \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{s} \). A seismograph records \( P \) and \( S \) waves from an
W earthquake. The first \( P \) wave arrives \( 4.0 \mathrm{~min} \) before the first \( S \) wave. The epicenter of the earthquake is located at a distance about

(a) \( 25 \mathrm{~km} \)
(b) \( 250 \mathrm{~km} \)
(c) \( 2500 \mathrm{~km} \)
(d) \( 5000 \mathrm{~km} \)
