Detailed Solution

 Here, frequency of sound emitted by siren, v0=800 Hz

 Speed of source, vs=15 m s-1

 Speed of sound in air, v=330 m s-1

Apparent frequency of sound at the cliff = frequency heard by observer=v

 Using Doppler's effect of sound 

v=vv-vsv0=330330-15×800

=330315×800=838.09 Hz838 Hz
