$A$ siren placed at a railway platform is emitting sound of frequency $5 \text{ kHz}$. $A$ passenger sitting in a moving train $A$ records a frequency of $5.5 \text{ kHz}$ while the train approaches the siren. During his return journey in a different train $B$,he records a frequency of $6.0 \text{ kHz}$ while approaching the same siren. The ratio of the velocity of train $B$ to that of train $A$ is

$A$ person with a vibrating tuning fork of frequency $338 \,Hz$ is moving towards a vertical wall with a speed of $2 \,ms^{-1}$. The velocity of sound in air is $340 \,ms^{-1}$. The number of beats heard by that person per second is

When both source and listener are approaching each other,the observed frequency of sound is given by (where $V$ is the speed of sound,$V_L$ and $V_S$ are the velocities of the listener and source respectively,and $n_0$ is the radiated frequency):

$A$ source $(S)$ of sound has a frequency of $240 \ Hz$. When the observer $(O)$ and the source move towards each other at a speed $v$ with respect to the ground (as shown in Case $1$ in the figure),the observer measures the frequency of the sound to be $288 \ Hz$. However,when the observer and the source move away from each other at the same speed $v$ with respect to the ground (as shown in Case $2$ in the figure),the observer measures the frequency of the sound to be $n \ Hz$. The value of $n$ is:

$A$ train is moving towards a stationary observer (at $t = 0$) with a constant velocity of $20 \ m/s$ and after some time it crosses the observer. Which of the following curves best represents the frequency $f$ received by the observer as a function of time?
