$A$ train $S_1$,moving with a uniform velocity of $108 \ km/h$,approaches another train $S_2$ standing on a platform. An observer $O$ moves with a uniform velocity of $36 \ km/h$ towards $S_2$,as shown in the figure. Both the trains are blowing whistles of the same frequency $120 \ Hz$. When $O$ is $600 \ m$ away from $S_2$ and the distance between $S_1$ and $S_2$ is $800 \ m$,the number of beats heard by $O$ is: [Speed of sound $= 330 \ m/s$]

Two cars $X$ and $Y$ are approaching each other with velocities $36 \; km/h$ and $72 \; km/h$ respectively. The frequency of a whistle sound emitted by a passenger in car $X$,heard by the passenger in car $Y$,is $1320 \; Hz$. If the velocity of sound in air is $340 \; m/s$,the actual frequency of the whistle sound produced is ........ $Hz$.

$A$ train blowing the whistle moves with a constant velocity $V$ away from an observer standing on the platform. The ratio of the natural frequency of the whistle $n$ to the apparent frequency is $1.2: 1$. If the train is at rest and the observer moves away from it at the same velocity $V$,the ratio of $n$ to the apparent frequency is (in $: 1$)
