The pitch of a whistle of an engine appears to drop by $30 \%$ 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:

  • A
    $840$
  • B
    $700$
  • C
    $175$
  • D
    $150$

$A$ car is moving with a speed of $72 \text{ km/h}$ towards a roadside source that emits sound at a frequency of $850 \text{ Hz}$. The car driver listens to the sound while approaching the source and again while moving away from the source after crossing it. If the velocity of sound is $340 \text{ m/s}$, the difference of the two frequencies the driver hears is: (in $\text{ Hz}$)
