$A$ car is moving with a speed of $72 \text{ km/h}$ towards a roadside source that emits sound at a frequency of $850 \text{ Hz}$. The car driver listens to the sound while approaching the source and again while moving away from the source after crossing it. If the velocity of sound is $340 \text{ m/s}$, the difference of the two frequencies the driver hears is: (in $\text{ Hz}$)

  • A
    $50$
  • B
    $85$
  • C
    $100$
  • D
    $150$

$A$ vibrating tuning fork is moving slowly and uniformly in a horizontal circular path of radius $8 \, m$. The shortest distance of an observer in the same plane from the tuning fork is $9 \, m$. The distance between the tuning fork and the observer at the instant when the apparent frequency becomes maximum is ......... $m$.

$A$ highway truck has two horns $A$ and $B$. When sounded together, the driver records $50$ beats in $10$ seconds. With horn $B$ blowing and the truck moving towards a wall at a speed of $10 \,m/s$, the driver notices a beat frequency of $5 \,Hz$ with the echo. When the frequency of $A$ is decreased, the beat frequency with the two horns sounded together increases. Calculate the frequency of horn $A$. (Speed of sound in air $= 330 \,m/s$) (in $\,Hz$)

Two men are walking along a horizontal straight line in the same direction. The man in front walks at a speed $1.0 \ m \ s^{-1}$ and the man behind walks at a speed $2.0 \ m \ s^{-1}$. $A$ third man is standing at a height $12 \ m$ above the same horizontal line such that all three men are in a vertical plane. The two walking men are blowing identical whistles which emit a sound of frequency $1430 \ Hz$. The speed of sound in air is $330 \ m \ s^{-1}$. At the instant when the moving men are $10 \ m$ apart,the stationary man is equidistant from them. The frequency of beats in $Hz$ heard by the stationary man at this instant is:
