Detailed Solution

Given, v0=400Hz,v=340 m/s

Speed of wind  vw=10 m/s

(i) As both source and observer are stationary, hence frequency observed will be same as natural frequency v0=400 Hz

(ii) The speed of sound  v=v+vw=340+10=350m/s

(iii) and (iv) There will be no effect on frequency,because there is no relative motion between source and observer hence (iii),(iv) are incorrect.
