A)

660 m


B)

let girl is standing on A, then sound goes to the B cliff and then come back to A before she hear the sound.

time=6 sec, speed OF voice/sound=330 m/s

now, distance(AB+BA)= speed*time = 330*6 =1980 m

distance between the cliff = AB = BA

AB+BA = 1980
2AB = 1980
AB = 990 m

hence the distance of the girl from cliff 990 m
