Given data

*The given ground speed of the helicopter is v_g = 230 km/h

*The given wind speed is v_w = 25 km/h

The formula for the air speed is given as


v_a=v_g-v_w

Substitute the known values in the above expression as


\begin{gathered} v_a=(230)-(25) \\ =205\text{ km/h} \end{gathered}

Hence, the air speed is v_a = 205 km/h. The correct option is (C)
