An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound,with a velocity one-fifth of the velocity of sound. What is the percentage increase in the apparent frequency (in $\%$)?

$A$ source of sound of frequency $n$ is moving towards a stationary observer with a speed $S$. If the speed of sound in air is $V$ and the frequency heard by the observer is $n_1$,the value of $n_1/n$ is

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:

$A$ source of sound is moving with a constant velocity of $30 \,m/s$ emitting a note of frequency $256 \,Hz$. The ratio of frequencies observed by a stationary observer while the source is approaching him and after it crosses him is [speed of sound in air $= 330 \,m/s$].

The pitch of the whistle of an engine appears to drop by $20 \%$ of its original value when it passes a stationary observer. If the speed of sound in air is $350 \ m/s$,then the speed of the engine in $m/s$ is:
