A police van, moving at $22\, m/s$ , chases a motor-cyclist. The police man sounds horn at $176\, Hz$ , while both of them move towards a stationary siren of frequency $165\, Hz$ as shown in the figure. If the motor-cyclist does not observe any beats, his speed must be .... $m/s$ (take the speed of sound $= 330\, m/s$ )
