A sounding body of negligible dimension emitting a frequency of $150\,\, Hz$ is dropped from a height. During its fall under gravity it passes near a balloon moving up with a constant velocity of $2m/s$ one second after it started to fall.The difference in the frequency observed by the man in balloon just before and just after crossing the body will be : (Given that -velocity of sound $= 300m/s; g = 10m/s^2$)

    A train moves towards a stationary observer with speed $34\, m/s$. The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is $f_1$. If the speed of the train is reduced to $17\, m/s$, the frequency registered is $f_2$. If speed of sound is $340\, m/s$, then the ratio $f_1/f_2$ is
