Which of the following statements is false?

$A$ sound source is moving on a circular path of radius $R$ with constant angular speed $\omega$ in an anticlockwise direction and emits a frequency $n$. An observer performs simple harmonic motion along the path $QPR$ with time period $T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega}$ as shown in the figure. If at $t = 0$ the source is at $A$ and the observer is at $Q$,and assuming $OP$ is very large compared to the radius $R$ and $QP$,then:

$A$ car moves towards a hill with speed $v_c$. It blows a horn of frequency $f$ which is heard by an observer following the car with speed $v_o$. The speed of sound in air is $v$.

When a train approaches a stationary observer,the apparent frequency of the whistle is $n'$ and when the same train recedes away from the observer,the apparent frequency is $n''$. Then,the apparent frequency $n$ when the observer moves with the train is

$A$ stationary tuning fork is in resonance with an air column in a pipe. If the tuning fork is moved with a speed of $2 \ m/s$ in front of the open end of the pipe and parallel to it,the length of the pipe should be changed for the resonance to occur with the moving tuning fork. If the speed of sound in air is $320 \ m/s$,the smallest value of the percentage change required in the length of the pipe is. . . . . .
