$A$ speaker emits a sound wave of frequency $f_0$. When it moves towards a stationary observer with speed $u$,the observer measures a frequency $f_1$. If the speaker is stationary and the observer moves towards it with speed $u$,the measured frequency is $f_2$. Then,

$A$ sounding body of negligible dimension emitting a frequency of $150\, Hz$ is dropped from a height. During its fall under gravity,it passes near a balloon moving up with a constant velocity of $2\, m/s$ one second after it started to fall. The difference in the frequency observed by the man in the balloon just before and just after crossing the body will be: (Given: velocity of sound $= 300\, m/s$; $g = 10\, m/s^2$) (in $, Hz$)

An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound,with a velocity one-fifth of the velocity of sound. What is the percentage increase in the apparent frequency (in $\%$)?

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)

The velocity of sound is $340 \,m/s$. $A$ source of sound having a frequency of $90 \,Hz$ is moving towards a stationary observer with a speed of one-tenth that of sound. The apparent frequency of sound as heard by the observer is: (in $\,Hz$)
