    Option (D)

    Explanation:

    Velocity of jet with respect to air = velocity of jet with respect to ground - velocity of air with respect to ground

    Vj, a = Vj, g - Va, g

    600 mph east = Vj, g - 0

    Beacause air is not moving

    Vj, g = 600 mph east

    Thus, the velocity of jet with respect to ground is 600 mph towards east.
