Ek is correct based on the numerical question. The equations work out.
However, if the question is to be inturpited, the answer is E

This turns into a calculas equation based on the resistance of the wind.
Wind=SpeedxT(thrust)/ (.7234/100km=R) Resistance/ Weight
Formulate D/M x R (T/1.3533) (.7234x100km)= KPH

I came up with 945KM....not an option above.

Sorry if I confused any one. I have a way of complicating things

But in theory, you have to many missing variables in the question.
What is the weight of the aircraft, including fuel.
What is the thrust, etc etc etc

I only mention this, because while I was in college (advanced calc), many questions presented themselves very familiar to this one. However, the Professor would expect his students to perform the numerical equations and they would be wrong. He would want the students to question the question to make it feasable with the missing variables.
Arggggg.....never mind
