Suppose that the speed of sound in air at a given temperature is $400 \ m/s$. An engine blows a whistle at $1200 \ Hz$ frequency. It is approaching an observer at the speed of $100 \ m/s$. What is the apparent frequency as heard by the observer in $Hz$?

$A$ source of sound emits a sound wave of frequency '$f$' and moves towards an observer with a velocity $\frac{V}{3}$,where $V$ is the velocity of sound. If the observer moves away from the source with a velocity $\frac{V}{5}$,the apparent frequency heard by him will be:

$A$ whistle $S$ of frequency $f$ revolves in a circle of radius $R$ at a constant speed $v$. What is the ratio of maximum and minimum frequency detected by a detector $D$ at rest at a distance $2R$ from the center of the circle as shown in the figure?

$A$ car is moving with a speed of $72 \text{ km/h}$ towards a roadside source that emits sound at a frequency of $850 \text{ Hz}$. The car driver listens to the sound while approaching the source and again while moving away from the source after crossing it. If the velocity of sound is $340 \text{ m/s}$, the difference of the two frequencies the driver hears is: (in $\text{ Hz}$)
