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?

Two trucks heading in opposite directions, each with a speed of $0.1 u$, approach each other. The speed of sound is $u$. The driver of the first truck sounds his horn with a frequency of $495 \,Hz$. Let $v_1$ and $v_2$ be the frequencies heard by the driver of the second truck when the trucks are approaching each other and when the trucks have passed each other, respectively. The magnitude of $v_1 - v_2$ is (in $\,Hz$)

$A$ source of sound is moving with a velocity of $50 \ m/s$ towards a stationary observer. The observer measures the frequency of sound as $500 \ Hz$. The apparent frequency of sound as heard by the observer when the source is moving away from him with the same speed is (Speed of sound at room temperature $350 \ m/s$). (in $Hz$)

The driver of a car travelling with a speed $V_1 \ m/s$ towards a wall sounds a siren of frequency $n \ Hz$. If the velocity of sound in air is $V \ m/s$,then the frequency of the sound reflected from the wall and as heard by the driver in $Hz$ is

The wavelength is $120 \, cm$ when the source is stationary. If the source is moving with a relative velocity of $60 \, m/s$ towards the observer,then the wavelength of the sound wave reaching the observer will be ... $cm$ (velocity of sound $= 330 \, m/s$).
