An engine is moving with uniform speed along a circular track emitting a sound of frequency $400\, Hz$ as shown in the figure. The speed of the engine is $30\, m/s$ and the speed of sound is $330\, m/s$. An observer is standing inside the track. The maximum frequency observed by the observer is

$A$ highway truck has two horns $A$ and $B$. When sounded together, the driver records $50$ beats in $10$ seconds. With horn $B$ blowing and the truck moving towards a wall at a speed of $10 \,m/s$, the driver notices a beat frequency of $5 \,Hz$ with the echo. When the frequency of $A$ is decreased, the beat frequency with the two horns sounded together increases. Calculate the frequency of horn $A$. (Speed of sound in air $= 330 \,m/s$) (in $\,Hz$)
