A source of sound S emitting waves of frequency 100 Hz and an observer O are located at some distance from each other. The source is moving with a speed of 19.4 ms-1 at an angle of 60° with the source observer line as shown in the figure. The observer is at rest. The apparent frequency observed by the observer (velocity of sound to air 330 ms-1), is
(1) 100 Hz
(2) 103Hz
(3) 106 Hz
(4) 97 Hz

If n1, n2 and n3 are, are the fundamental frequencies of three segments into which a string is divided, then the original fundamental frequency n of the string is given by
(1) 1/n=1/n1+1/n2+1/n3
(2) 1/√n=1/√n1+1/√n2+1/√n3
(3) √n=√n1+√n2+√n3
(4) n=n1+n2+n3

A speed motorcyclist sees a traffic jam ahead of him. He slows down to 36km/h. He finds that traffic has eased and a car moving in front of him at 18km/h is honking at a frequency of 1392Hz. If the speed of sound is 343m/s, the frequency of the honk as heard by him will be
1. 1332Hz
2. 1372Hz
3. 1412Hz
4. 1454Hz
