$A$ person carrying a whistle emitting a note of $272 \text{ Hz}$ is running towards a reflecting surface with a speed of $18 \text{ km/h}$. The speed of sound in air is $345 \text{ m/s}$. The number of beats heard by him is:

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,$f_2 < f_1$.

$A$ sound source $S$ is moving along a straight track with speed $v,$ and is emitting sound of frequency $v_{0}.$ An observer is standing at a finite distance,at the point $O,$ from the track. The time variation of frequency heard by the observer is best represented by (where $t_{0}$ represents the instant when the distance between the source and observer is minimum).

An engine sounding a whistle of frequency $2000 \,Hz$ is receding from a stationary observer at $72 \,km/h$. What is the apparent frequency heard by the observer (in $\,Hz$)? The velocity of sound in air is $340 \,m/s$.

$A$ train is moving towards a stationary observer. Which of the following curves best represents the frequency $f$ received by the observer as a function of time $t$?
