When train approaches the station, the frequency heard by the observer
υ1=υvvvs=υ330330vs
Here,  v=330 m/s
υ is the actual frequency of the whistle
484=υ330330vs.....1
When the train leaves the station
υ2=υvv+vs=υ330330+vs....2
Divide Equations (1) & (2), we get
484442=330+vs330vs
1.09=330+vs330vs
vs=31.352.09
=15 m/s=15 ×185=54kmph
Substituting  vs in equation gives
484=υ33033015
=υ330315
υ=484×2122
υ=462 Hz
Therefore, the correct answer is (A).
