For closed organ pipe

$\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{c}}=(2 \mathrm{n}+1) \frac{\mathrm{v}}{4 \ell}=\frac{15 \mathrm{v}}{4 \ell}$

For open organ pipe

$\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{o}}=(\mathrm{n}+1) \frac{\mathrm{v}}{2 \ell}=\frac{8 \mathrm{v}}{2 \ell}$

$\frac{\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{c}}}{\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{o}}}=\frac{15}{16}=\frac{\mathrm{a}-1}{\mathrm{a}}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{a}=16$

    stationary source is emitting sound at a fixed frequency $f_0$, which is reflected by two cars approaching the source. The difference between the frequencies of sound reflected from the cars is $1.2\%$ of $f_0$. What is the difference in the speeds of the cars (in $km$ per hour) to the nearest integer ..... $km/hr$ ? The cars are moving at constant speeds much smaller than the speed of sound which is $330$ $ms^{-1}$.
