What should be the velocity of a sound source moving towards a stationary observer so that the apparent frequency is double the actual frequency? (Velocity of sound is $v$)

$A$ vehicle sounding a whistle of frequency $256 \,Hz$ is moving on a straight road towards a hill with a velocity of $10 \,ms^{-1}$. The number of beats per second observed by a person travelling in the vehicle is (velocity of sound $= 330 \,ms^{-1}$).

$A$ vehicle with a horn of frequency $n$ is moving with a velocity of $30\, m/s$ in a direction perpendicular to the straight line joining the observer and the vehicle. The observer perceives the sound to have a frequency $n + n_1$. Then (if the sound velocity in air is $300\, m/s$):

$A$ source of sound is moving with a velocity of $50 \ m/s$ towards a stationary observer. The observer measures the frequency of sound as $500 \ Hz$. The apparent frequency of sound as heard by the observer when the source is moving away from him with the same speed is (Speed of sound at room temperature $350 \ m/s$). (in $Hz$)

$A$ police van,moving at $22 \, m/s$,chases a motorcyclist. The policeman sounds a horn at $176 \, Hz$,while both of them move towards a stationary siren of frequency $165 \, Hz$ as shown in the figure. If the motorcyclist does not observe any beats,his speed must be .... $m/s$ (take the speed of sound $= 330 \, m/s$).
