$A$ person observes two moving trains. The first reaches the station and the second leaves the station,both with an equal speed of $30 \ m/s$. If both trains emit sounds of frequency $300 \ Hz$,what is the difference in frequencies heard by the person (in $Hz$)? (Speed of sound in air $= 330 \ m/s$)

When the observer moves towards the stationary source with velocity $V_1$,the apparent frequency of the emitted note is $F_1$. When the observer moves away from the source with velocity $V_1$,the apparent frequency is $F_2$. If $V$ is the velocity of sound in air and $\frac{F_1}{F_2}=2$,then $\frac{V}{V_1}=?$

The speed of sound in air at a given temperature is $350 \, m/s$. An engine blows a whistle at a frequency of $1200 \, cps$. It is approaching the observer with a velocity of $50 \, m/s$. The apparent frequency in $cps$ heard by the observer will be:

$A$ and $B$ are two sources generating sound waves. $A$ listener is situated at $C$. The frequency of the source at $A$ is $500 \, Hz$. $A$ now moves towards $C$ with a speed of $4 \, m/s$. The number of beats heard at $C$ is $6$. When $A$ moves away from $C$ with a speed of $4 \, m/s$,the number of beats heard at $C$ is $18$. The speed of sound is $340 \, m/s$. The frequency of the source at $B$ is ..... $Hz$.
