Statement $-1$: Due to the motion of the listener,the frequency of the sound waves (as received by the listener) emitted by a stationary source is affected.
Statement $-2$: Due to the motion of the source,the wavelength of the sound waves (emitted by the source) as received by a stationary listener is affected.
Statement $-3$: If the receiver and the source are both moving,the observed frequency must be different from the original frequency of the source.
Treat the motion of the source or listener as always along the line joining them for all the above cases.

$A$ man standing on a platform observes that the frequency of the sound of a whistle emitted by a train drops by $140 \, Hz$. If the velocity of sound in air is $330 \, m/s$ and the speed of the train is $70 \, m/s$,the frequency of the whistle is .......... $Hz$.

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 $= 330\, m/s$)

$A$ 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:

$A$ train is moving towards a stationary observer with speed $34 \text{ m/s}$. $A$ train sounds a whistle of frequency $450 \text{ Hz}$. If the speed of sound is $340 \text{ m/s}$, the frequency heard by the observer in Hz is
