$A$ train is moving along a semicircular track. The engine is at one end of the semicircular part of the track,while the last carriage is at the other end. The driver blows a whistle of frequency $200 \ Hz$. The velocity of sound is $340 \ m/s$. If the speed of the train is $30 \ m/s$,what is the apparent frequency observed by a passenger in the middle of the train (in $Hz$)?

The frequency of sound heard by an observer moving towards a stationary source with certain speed is $n_1$ and if the observer moves away from the same source with same speed,the frequency of sound heard by the observer is $n_2$. If the speed of sound in air is $340 \ m/s$ and $n_1: n_2 = 71: 65$,then the speed of the observer is: (in $km/h$)

Two trains $A$ and $B$ are moving with speeds $20 \ m/s$ and $30 \ m/s$ respectively in the same direction on the same straight track,with $B$ ahead of $A$. The engines are at the front ends. The engine of train $A$ blows a long whistle. Assume that the sound of the whistle is composed of components varying in frequency from $f_1=800 \ Hz$ to $f_2=1120 \ Hz$,as shown in the figure. The spread in the frequency (highest frequency - lowest frequency) is thus $320 \ Hz$. The speed of sound in still air is $340 \ m/s$.
$1.$ The speed of sound of the whistle is
$(A)$ $340 \ m/s$ for passengers in $A$ and $310 \ m/s$ for passengers in $B$
$(B)$ $360 \ m/s$ for passengers in $A$ and $310 \ m/s$ for passengers in $B$
$(C)$ $310 \ m/s$ for passengers in $A$ and $360 \ m/s$ for passengers in $B$
$(D)$ $340 \ m/s$ for passengers in both the trains
$2.$ The distribution of the sound intensity of the whistle as observed by the passengers in train $A$ is best represented by
$3.$ The spread of frequency as observed by the passengers in train $B$ is
$(A)$ $310 \ Hz$ $(B)$ $330 \ Hz$ $(C)$ $350 \ Hz$ $(D)$ $290 \ Hz$
Give the answer for question $1, 2$ and $3$.

$A$ toy-car,blowing its horn,is moving with a steady speed of $5\, m/s$,away from a wall. An observer,towards whom the toy car is moving,is able to hear $5\, beats$ per second. If the velocity of sound in air is $340\, m/s$,the frequency of the horn of the toy car is close to ... $Hz$

$A$ table is revolving on its axis at $5$ revolutions per second. $A$ sound source of frequency $1000 \text{ Hz}$ is fixed on the table at $70 \text{ cm}$ from the axis. The minimum frequency heard by a listener standing at a distance from the table will be .... $\text{ Hz}$ (speed of sound $= 352 \text{ m/s}$)
