$A$ man standing in front of a mountain beats a drum at regular intervals. The rate of drumming is gradually increased and he finds that the echo is not heard distinctly when the rate becomes $40$ per minute. He then moves nearer to the mountain by $90 \ m$ and finds that the echo is again not heard when the drumming rate becomes $60$ per minute. The distance between the mountain and the initial position of the man is .... $m$

$A$ narrow tube is bent in the form of a circle of radius $R,$ as shown in the figure. Two small holes $S$ and $D$ are made in the tube at positions right-angled to each other. $A$ source placed at $S$ generates a wave of intensity $I_0$ which is equally divided into two parts: one part travels along the longer path,while the other travels along the shorter path. Both the waves meet at point $D$ where a detector is placed. If a maxima is formed at the detector,then the possible values for the wavelength $\lambda$ of the wave produced are given by:

Match Column-$1$ with Column-$2$.
Column-$1$Column-$2$
$(a)$ Light waves$(i)$ Mechanical and transverse.
$(b)$ Sound waves$(ii)$ Mechanical and longitudinal.
$(c)$ Earthquake waves$(iii)$ Non-mechanical and transverse.
$(d)$ Waves on a tense string$(iv)$ Mechanical,transverse and longitudinal.

$Assertion :$ The pitch of wind instruments rises and that of string instruments falls as an orchestra warms up.
$Reason :$ When temperature rises,the speed of sound increases,but the speed of a wave in a string fixed at both ends decreases.
