A train $S1$, moving with a uniform velocity of $108 km / h$, approaches another train $S 2$ standing on a platform. An observer $O$ moves with a uniform velocity of $36 km / h$ towards $S 2$, as shown in figure. Both the trains are blowing whistles of same frequency $120 Hz$. When $O$ is $600 m$ away from $S 2$ and distance between $S 1$ and $S 2$ is $800 m$, the number of beats heard by $O$ is. . . . . [Speed of the sound $=330 m / s$ ]
