$A$ train moves towards a stationary observer with a speed of $34 \ m/s$. The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is $f_1$. If the train's speed is reduced to $17 \ m/s$,the frequency registered is $f_2$. If the speed of sound is $340 \ m/s$,then the ratio $f_1/f_2$ is:

Two trains $A$ and $B$ are moving towards each other with speeds $72 \ km/h$ and $36 \ km/h$ respectively. The train $A$ whistles at $640 \ Hz$ frequency. Before the trains meet,the frequency of sound heard by a passenger in Train $B$ is (Speed of sound in air $= 340 \ m/s$). (in $Hz$)

$A$ source of sound $S$ emitting waves of frequency $100 \, Hz$ and an observer $O$ are located at some distance from each other. The source is moving with a speed of $19.4 \, m s^{-1}$ at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the source-observer line as shown in the figure. The observer is at rest. The apparent frequency observed by the observer is .... $Hz$ (velocity of sound in air $330 \, m s^{-1}$).

The pitch of the whistle of an engine appears to drop by $20 \%$ of its original value when it passes a stationary observer. If the speed of sound in air is $350 \ m/s$,then the speed of the engine in $m/s$ is:

When a car is approaching the observer,the frequency of the horn is $100 \, Hz$. After passing the observer,it is $50 \, Hz$. If the observer moves with the car,the frequency will be $\frac{x}{3} \, Hz$ where $x = .....$
