$A$ train whistling at a constant frequency $n$ is moving towards a station at a constant speed $v_s$. The train goes past a stationary observer on the station. The frequency $n'$ of the sound as heard by the observer is plotted as a function of time $t$. Identify the correct curve.

$A$ source of sound is travelling towards a stationary observer. The frequency of sound heard by the observer is three times the original frequency. If the velocity of sound is $v \ m/s$,the speed of the source will be:

The driver of a car travelling with speed $30 \, m/s$ towards a hill sounds a horn of frequency $600 \, Hz$. If the velocity of sound in air is $330 \, m/s$,the frequency of reflected sound as heard by the driver is .... $Hz$.

$A$ source at rest emits sound waves of frequency $102 \ Hz$. Two observers are moving away from the source of sound in opposite directions, each with a speed of $10 \%$ of the speed of sound. The ratio of the frequencies of sound heard by the observers is
