$A$ source and an observer approach each other with the same velocity $50 \, m/s$. If the apparent frequency is $435 \, s^{-1}$,then the real frequency is .... $s^{-1}$ (Take speed of sound $v = 332 \, m/s$)

Two men are walking along a horizontal straight line in the same direction. The man in front walks at a speed of $1.0 \,m \,s^{-1}$ and the man behind walks at a speed of $2.0 \,m \,s^{-1}$. $A$ third man is standing at a height of $12 \,m$ above the same horizontal line such that all three men are in a vertical plane. The two walking men are blowing identical whistles which emit a sound of frequency $1430 \,Hz$. The speed of sound in air is $330 \,m \,s^{-1}$. At the instant when the moving men are $10 \,m$ apart,the stationary man is equidistant from them. The frequency of beats in $Hz$ heard by the stationary man at this instant is:

$A$ 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 .......... $Hz$.

$A$ small source of sound moves on a circle as shown in the figure and an observer is standing at $O.$ Let $n_1, n_2$ and $n_3$ be the frequencies heard when the source is at $A, B$ and $C$ respectively. Then

Obtain the equation for the frequency observed by a stationary observer when the source is moving.
