Please answer the following questions:

1) How is an airplane's speed measured?

a. Groundspeed
b. Airspeed
c. Other (specify)
The hypothetical scenario does not specify the type of speed. Hence, a large reason the scenario is a conundrum.[/b]
NYM- The hypothetical scenario also doesn't say what type of plane it is, what the runway is made of, or whether there's any type of wind. For all we know, the plane is a Harrier Jump Jet, there's a 100mph headwind, and the runway is made of glass!

Your response completely avoids the question.

Please tell me the assumptions you are making about the scenario, then answer the question: How is an airplane's speed measured? (You may use google to find your answer.)
