$A$ vehicle sounding a whistle of frequency $256 \,Hz$ is moving on a straight road towards a hill with a velocity of $10 \,ms^{-1}$. The number of beats per second observed by a person travelling in the vehicle is (velocity of sound $= 330 \,ms^{-1}$).

The apparent frequency of a sound wave as heard by an observer is $10\%$ more than the actual frequency. If the velocity of sound in air is $330 \, m/s$,then
$(i)$ The source may be moving towards the observer with a velocity of $30 \, m/s$
$(ii)$ The source may be moving towards the observer with a velocity of $33 \, m/s$
$(iii)$ The observer may be moving towards the source with a velocity of $30 \, m/s$
$(iv)$ The observer may be moving towards the source with a velocity of $33 \, m/s$

$A$ car $A$ is chasing another car $B$ with a speed of $20 \, m/s$,sounding a horn of frequency $180 \, Hz$. Both cars are moving towards a stationary siren of frequency $170 \, Hz$. What is the speed of car $B$ so that it does not hear any beats (in $, m/s$)? (Speed of sound $= 340 \, m/s$)

Two sources $A$ and $B$ are sending notes of frequency $680 \ Hz$. $A$ listener moves from $A$ towards $B$ with a constant velocity $u$. If the speed of sound in air is $340 \ ms^{-1}$, what must be the value of $u$ so that he hears $10$ beats per second (in $ms^{-1}$)?

Two men are walking along a horizontal straight line in the same direction. The man in front walks at a speed $1.0 \ m \ s^{-1}$ and the man behind walks at a speed $2.0 \ m \ s^{-1}$. $A$ third man is standing at a height $12 \ m$ above the same horizontal line such that all three men are in a vertical plane. The two walking men are blowing identical whistles which emit a sound of frequency $1430 \ Hz$. The speed of sound in air is $330 \ m \ s^{-1}$. At the instant when the moving men are $10 \ m$ apart,the stationary man is equidistant from them. The frequency of beats in $Hz$ heard by the stationary man at this instant is:
