$A$ locomotive approaching a crossing at a speed of $20 \, m/s$ sounds a whistle of frequency $640 \, Hz$ when it is $1 \, km$ from the crossing. There is no wind and the speed of sound in air is $330 \, m/s$. What frequency is heard by an observer located $\sqrt{3} \, km$ away from the crossing on a straight road at a right angle to the locomotive's path (in $, Hz$)?

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,$f_2 < f_1$.

An engine is moving on a circular path of radius $200 \,m$ with a speed of $15 \,m/s$. What will be the frequency heard by an observer who is at rest at the centre of the circular path,when the engine blows the whistle with a frequency of $250 \,Hz$?

$A$ stationary source is emitting sound at a fixed frequency $f_0$,which is reflected by two cars approaching the source. The difference between the frequencies of sound reflected from the cars is $1.2 \%$ of $f_0$. What is the difference in the speeds of the cars (in $km/h$) to the nearest integer? The cars are moving at constant speeds much smaller than the speed of sound,which is $330 \ m/s$.

$A$ train moves towards a stationary observer with speed $34\, m/s$. The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is $f_1$. If the speed of the train is reduced to $17\, m/s$,the frequency registered is $f_2$. If the speed of sound is $340\, m/s$,then the ratio $f_1/f_2$ is
