is the question how far away is the target?
it takes the bullet a certain amount of time to reach the gong, and it takes sound some time to return
then we have that 0.741 s = time for bullet to reach gong + time for sound to return
if D is the distance, then time for bullet to reach gong is D/1685
and the time for sound to return is D/330 using 330m/s as the speed of sound
therefore we have
0.741 = D/1685 +D/330
or D=204m
