An observer is riding on a bicycle and moving towards a hill at $18\,km\,h ^{-1}$. He hears a sound from a source at some distance behind him directly as well as after its reflection from the hill. If the original frequency of the sound as emitted by source is $640\,\,Hz$ and velocity of the sound in air is $320\,m / s$, the beat frequency between the two sounds heard by observer will be $...Hz$.

$V_{S}=0, V_{o b}=5 m / s$

$f _{\text {direct }}=\left(\frac{320-5}{320}\right) 640=630 Hz$

$f _{\text {reflected }}=\left(\frac{320+5}{320}\right) 640=650 Hz$

$f _{\text {beat }}=650-630=20 Hz$

    A man standing in front of a mountain beats a drum at regular intervals. The rate of drumming is generally increased and he finds that the echo is not heard distinctly when the rate becomes $40$ per minute. He then moves nearer to the mountain by $90 m$ and finds that echo is again not heard when the drumming rate becomes $60$ per minute. The distance between the mountain and the initial position of the man is .... $m$
