Correct option is A

When the train is coming to the observern′=VV−Vsn=320320−4×240 n′′=VV+Vsn=320320+4×240 ≅237Hz When the train is moving away from observer Beat frequency =n′−n′′=243−237=6

A sounding body emitting a frequency of 150 Hz is dropped from a height. During its fall under gravity it crosses a balloon moving upwards with a constant velocity of 2 m/s one second after it started to fall. The difference in the frequency observed by the man in balloon just before and just after crossing the body will be: (given that velocity of sound = 300 m/s; g = l0 $m / s^{2}$ )
