$A$ car $P$ travelling at $20\,ms^{-1}$ sounds its horn at a frequency of $400\,Hz$. Another car $Q$ is travelling behind the first car in the same direction with a velocity $40\,ms^{-1}$. The frequency heard by the passenger of the car $Q$ is approximately $.......\,Hz$. [Take,velocity of sound $= 360\,ms^{-1}$]

What should be the velocity of a sound source moving towards a stationary observer so that the apparent frequency is double the actual frequency? (Velocity of sound is $v$)

Two vehicles,each moving with speed $u$ on the same horizontal straight road,are approaching each other. Wind blows along the road with velocity $w$. One of these vehicles blows a whistle of frequency $f_1$. An observer in the other vehicle hears the frequency of the whistle to be $f_2$. The speed of sound in still air is $V$. The correct statement$(s)$ is (are) :
$(A)$ If the wind blows from the observer to the source,$f_2 > f_1$.
$(B)$ If the wind blows from the source to the observer,$f_2 > f_1$.
$(C)$ If the wind blows from the observer to the source,$f_2 < f_1$.
$(D)$ If the wind blows from the source to the observer,$f_2 < f_1$.

Two cars are approaching each other at an equal speed of $7.2\, km/hr$. When they see each other,both blow horns having a frequency of $676\, Hz$. The beat frequency heard by each driver will be $.....\, Hz$. [Velocity of sound in air is $340\, m/s$.]

The engine of a train moving with speed $10\,ms^{-1}$ towards a platform sounds a whistle at frequency $400\,Hz$. The frequency heard by a passenger inside the train is $........\,Hz$ (neglect air speed. Speed of sound in air $330\,ms^{-1}$). (in $,Hz$)
