A police car moving at $$22$$ $$m/s$$ chases a $$motor-cyclist$$. The police man sounds his horn at $$176$$ Hz, while both of them move towards a stationary siren of frequency $$165$$ Hz. Calculate the speed of the motorcycle. It is given that the motorcyclist does not observe any beats (Velocity$$ of sound $$=$$ $$330$$ $$m/s)
