$A$ police car moving at $22 \,ms^{-1}$ chases a motorcyclist. The policeman sounds a horn at $176 \,Hz$, while both of them move towards a stationary siren of frequency $165 \,Hz$. If the number of beats heard by the motorcyclist per second is zero, then the speed of the motorcycle is (Speed of sound in air $= 330 \,ms^{-1}$) (in $\,ms^{-1}$)

An engine sounding a whistle of frequency $2000 \,Hz$ is receding from a stationary observer at $72 \,km/h$. What is the apparent frequency heard by the observer (in $\,Hz$)? The velocity of sound in air is $340 \,m/s$.

$A$ vehicle sounding a whistle of frequency $256 \,Hz$ is moving on a straight road towards a hill with a velocity of $10 \,ms^{-1}$. The number of beats per second observed by a person travelling in the vehicle is (velocity of sound $= 330 \,ms^{-1}$).
