    The difference between the apparent frequencies of whistle as perceived by an observer in rest during approach and recession of the train is 1%. If velocity of sound is 320 m/sec. The velocity of the train is

    A)  5.7 km/hour      

    B)  7.2 km/hour

    C)  10.3 km/hour

    D)  44.8 km/hour

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    : When source is approaching observer \[n=\frac{vn}{(v-{{v}_{s}})}\] When source is receding from observer, \[n=\frac{vn}{(v+{{v}_{s}})}\] \[\therefore \]\[n-n=\frac{2nv{{v}_{s}}}{{{v}^{2}}}=\frac{2n{{v}_{s}}}{v}=\frac{n-n}{n}=\frac{1}{100}\] \[\therefore \]\[\frac{2n{{v}_{s}}}{nv}=\frac{1}{100}\] Or \[2{{v}_{s}}=\frac{v}{100}=\frac{320}{100}=3.2\]or\[{{v}_{s}}=\frac{3.2}{2}=1.6\,m/s\] Or \[{{v}_{s}}=\frac{1.6\times 3600}{1000}\frac{km}{h}=5.76\frac{km}{h}\] Since\[v>>{{v}_{s}},v_{s}^{2}\]can be ignored \[\therefore \] \[n-n=\frac{2nv{{v}_{s}}}{{{v}^{2}}}=\frac{2n{{v}_{s}}}{v}\frac{n-n}{n}=\frac{1}{100}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{2n{{v}_{s}}}{nv}=\frac{1}{100}\] Or \[2{{v}_{s}}=\frac{v}{100}=\frac{320}{100}=3.2\]or \[{{v}_{s}}=\frac{3.2}{2}=1.6\,m/s\] Or \[{{v}_{s}}=\frac{1.6\times 3600}{1000}\frac{km}{h}=5.76\frac{km}{h}\]
