Two loudspeakers $M$ and $N$ are located $20 \ m$ apart and emit sound at frequencies $118 \ Hz$ and $121 \ Hz$,respectively. $A$ car is initially at a point $P$,$1800 \ m$ away from the midpoint $Q$ of the line $MN$ and moves towards $Q$ constantly at $60 \ km/h$ along the perpendicular bisector of $MN$. It crosses $Q$ and eventually reaches a point $R$,$1800 \ m$ away from $Q$. Let $v(t)$ represent the beat frequency measured by a person sitting in the car at time $t$. Let $v_P, v_Q$ and $v_R$ be the beat frequencies measured at locations $P, Q$ and $R$,respectively. The speed of sound in air is $330 \ m/s$. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) true regarding the sound heard by the person?
$(A)$ $v_P + v_R = 2v_Q$
$(B)$ The rate of change in beat frequency is maximum when the car passes through $Q$
$(C)$ The plot below represents schematically the variation of beat frequency with time (Left plot)
$(D)$ The plot below represents schematically the variation of beat frequency with time (Right plot)

With what velocity should an observer approach a stationary sound source,so that the apparent frequency of sound appears double the actual frequency? (Let $v$ be the velocity of sound).

$A$ car sounding its horn at $480\,Hz$ moves towards a high wall at a speed of $20\,m/s$. If the speed of sound is $340\,m/s,$ the frequency of the reflected sound heard by the passenger sitting in the car will be the nearest to ..... $Hz$.

$A$ car $P$ approaching a crossing at a speed of $10 \, m/s$ sounds a horn of frequency $700 \, Hz$ when $40 \, m$ in front of the crossing. The speed of sound in air is $340 \, m/s$. Another car $Q$ is at rest on a road which is perpendicular to the road on which car $P$ is reaching the crossing. The driver of car $Q$ hears the sound of the horn of car $P$ when he is $30 \, m$ in front of the crossing. The apparent frequency heard by the driver of car $Q$ is ..... $Hz$.
