A train moving at a speed of 220 ${\mathrm{ms}}^{-1}$ towards a stationary object, emits a sound of frequency 1000 Hz. Some of the sound reaching the object gets reflected back to the train as an echo. The frequency of the echo as detected by the driver of the train is

1. 3500Hz
2. 4000Hz
3. 5000Hz
4. 3000Hz

Two particles are oscillating along two close parallel straight lines side by side, with the same frequency and amplitudes. They pass each other, moving in opposite directions when their displacement is half of the amplitude.
