Two sources of sound $S_1$ and $S_2$ produce sound waves of same frequency $660\, Hz$. $A$ listener is moving from source $S_1$ towards $S_2$ with a constant speed $u\, m/s$ and he hears $10\, \text{beats/s}$. The velocity of sound is $330\, m/s$. Then, $u$ equals ... $m/s$.

  • A
    $15.0$
  • B
    $10.0$
  • C
    $5.5$
  • D
    $2.5$

Two men are walking along a horizontal straight line in the same direction. The man in front walks at a speed of $1.0 \,m \,s^{-1}$ and the man behind walks at a speed of $2.0 \,m \,s^{-1}$. $A$ third man is standing at a height of $12 \,m$ above the same horizontal line such that all three men are in a vertical plane. The two walking men are blowing identical whistles which emit a sound of frequency $1430 \,Hz$. The speed of sound in air is $330 \,m \,s^{-1}$. At the instant when the moving men are $10 \,m$ apart,the stationary man is equidistant from them. The frequency of beats in $Hz$ heard by the stationary man at this instant is:
