Two trains $A$ and $B$ are moving with speeds $20 \ m/s$ and $30 \ m/s$ respectively in the same direction on the same straight track,with $B$ ahead of $A$. The engines are at the front ends. The engine of train $A$ blows a long whistle. Assume that the sound of the whistle is composed of components varying in frequency from $f_1=800 \ Hz$ to $f_2=1120 \ Hz$,as shown in the figure. The spread in the frequency (highest frequency - lowest frequency) is thus $320 \ Hz$. The speed of sound in still air is $340 \ m/s$.
$1.$ The speed of sound of the whistle is
$(A)$ $340 \ m/s$ for passengers in $A$ and $310 \ m/s$ for passengers in $B$
$(B)$ $360 \ m/s$ for passengers in $A$ and $310 \ m/s$ for passengers in $B$
$(C)$ $310 \ m/s$ for passengers in $A$ and $360 \ m/s$ for passengers in $B$
$(D)$ $340 \ m/s$ for passengers in both the trains
$2.$ The distribution of the sound intensity of the whistle as observed by the passengers in train $A$ is best represented by
$3.$ The spread of frequency as observed by the passengers in train $B$ is
$(A)$ $310 \ Hz$ $(B)$ $330 \ Hz$ $(C)$ $350 \ Hz$ $(D)$ $290 \ Hz$
Give the answer for question $1, 2$ and $3$.

$A$ whistle of frequency $660 \,Hz$ moves in a circle of radius $1 \,m$ at an angular speed of $10 \,rad/s$. The highest frequency heard by a listener at a long distance and at rest with respect to the center of the circle is (Let speed of sound $= 340 \,m/s$.) (in $\,Hz$)

Two sources of sound $S_1$ and $S_2$ are moving towards and away from a stationary observer with the same speed $V$ respectively. The observer detects $3$ beats per second. Find the speed of the source (approximately) in $m/s$. Given: $f_1 = f_2 = 500 \, Hz$,speed of sound in air $= 330 \, m/s$.

$A$ car travelling at a speed of $54 \ km/h$ towards a wall sounds a horn of frequency $400 \ Hz$. The difference in the frequencies of two sounds, one received directly from the car and the other reflected from the wall, noticed by a person standing between the car and the wall is (speed of sound in air is $335 \ m/s$):

An engine giving a whistle is moving towards a stationary observer with a speed of $110\, m/s$. What will be the ratio of the frequency of the whistle heard when the engine is approaching and receding from the observer? (Speed of sound $= 330\, m/s$)
