detailed solution

Correct option is A

Person A hears the sound of his own source whose frequency γ . He also hears the sound of source carried by person B γ1=γ1+u/v                 Hence,  No. of beats heard γ1−γ=γuvAPPARENT FREQUENCY  of source with B received by the person A will be given by n' =nv-vov-vshere vo=-u and vs=0

A source of sound having natural frequency f0 = 1800 Hz is moving uniformly along a line separated from a stationary listener by a distance l = 250 m. The velocity of source is n = 0.80 times the velocity of sound. Find the frequency of sound (in Hz) received by the listener at the moment when the source gets closest to him.
