The source producing sound and an observer are both moving along the direction of propagation of sound waves. If the respective velocities of sound,source,and an observer are $v$,$v_s$,and $v_o$,then the apparent frequency heard by the observer will be ($n =$ frequency of sound).

  • A
    $\frac{n(v + v_o)}{v - v_o}$
  • B
    $\frac{n(v - v_o)}{v - v_s}$
  • C
    $\frac{n(v - v_o)}{v + v_s}$
  • D
    $\frac{n(v + v_o)}{v + v_s}$

An Indian submarine $(I)$ and an enemy submarine $(E)$ move towards each other in motionless water. The Indian submarine moves at $50 \ km/h$,and the enemy submarine at $70 \ km/h$. The Indian submarine sends out a sonar signal (sound wave in water) at $1000 \ Hz$. The sonar wave reflects off the enemy submarine and returns to the Indian submarine. If the speed of sound in water is $5500 \ km/h$,what is the frequency of the reflected signal detected by the Indian submarine in $kHz$ (in $kHz$)?
