Detailed Solution

n1 = Apparent frequency heard by the motor cyclist from police van. = Question Image

n2 = Apparent frequency heard by the motor cyclist from given = \large 165\left( {1 + \frac{{{v_o}}}{{330}}} \right)

when beat frequency is zero, n1 = n2

\large \therefore \,176\left( {\frac{{330 - {v_o}}}{{308}}} \right)\, = \,165\left( {\frac{{330 + {v_o}}}{{330}}} \right)

\large \Rightarrow \,{v_o}\, = \,22m/s
