$A$ boy standing on a platform observes the frequency of a train horn as it passes by. The change in the frequency noticed as the train approaches and recedes him with a velocity of $108 \text{ km/h}$ is (speed of sound in air $= 330 \text{ m/s}$) (in $\%$)

$A$ and $B$ are two sources generating sound waves. $A$ listener is situated at $C$. The frequency of the source at $A$ is $500 \, Hz$. $A$ now moves towards $C$ with a speed of $4 \, m/s$. The number of beats heard at $C$ is $6$. When $A$ moves away from $C$ with a speed of $4 \, m/s$,the number of beats heard at $C$ is $18$. The speed of sound is $340 \, m/s$. The frequency of the source at $B$ is ..... $Hz$.

$A$ train is moving along a semicircular track. The engine is at one end of the semicircular part of the track,while the last carriage is at the other end. The driver blows a whistle of frequency $200 \ Hz$. The velocity of sound is $340 \ m/s$. If the speed of the train is $30 \ m/s$,what is the apparent frequency observed by a passenger in the middle of the train (in $Hz$)?
