Two vehicles,each moving with speed $u$ on the same horizontal straight road,are approaching each other. Wind blows along the road with velocity $w$. One of these vehicles blows a whistle of frequency $f_1$. An observer in the other vehicle hears the frequency of the whistle to be $f_2$. The speed of sound in still air is $V$. The correct statement$(s)$ is (are) :
$(A)$ If the wind blows from the observer to the source,$f_2 > f_1$.
$(B)$ If the wind blows from the source to the observer,$f_2 > f_1$.
$(C)$ If the wind blows from the observer to the source,$f_2 < f_1$.
$(D)$ If the wind blows from the source to the observer,$f_2 < f_1$.

$A$ train blowing its whistle moves with constant speed on a straight track towards an observer and then crosses him. If the ratio of the difference between the actual and apparent frequencies is $3:2$ in the two cases (approaching and receding),then the speed of the train is (where $v$ is the speed of sound).

$A$ detector is released from rest over a source of sound of frequency $f_0 = 10^3 \, Hz$. The frequency observed by the detector at time $t$ is plotted in the graph. Given $g = 10 \, m/s^2$,find the speed of sound in air in $m/s$.

$A$ policeman on duty detects a drop of $10\%$ in the pitch of the horn of a moving car as it crosses him. If the velocity of sound is $330 \, m/s$,the speed of the car will be ..... $m/s$.

$A$ person observes two moving trains. Train $A$ is reaching the station and train $B$ is leaving the station, both with an equal speed of $30 \text{ m/s}$. If both trains emit sounds with a frequency of $300 \text{ Hz}$, and the speed of sound is $330 \text{ m/s}$, what is the difference in the frequencies heard by the person (in $\text{ Hz}$)?
