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 $330$ $ms^{-1}$.

    Two loudspeakers $M$ and $N$ are located $20 \mathrm{~m}$ apart and emit sound at frequencies $118 \mathrm{~Hz}$ and $121 \mathrm{~Hz}$, respectively. $A$ car is initially at a point $P, 1800 \mathrm{~m}$ away from the midpoint $Q$ of the line $M N$ and moves towards $Q$ constantly at $60 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{hr}$ along the perpendicular bisector of $M N$. It crosses $Q$ and eventually reaches a point $R, 1800(m$ away from $Q$. Let $v(t)$ represent the beat frequency measured by a person sitting in tlie car at time $t$. Let $v_P, v_Q$ and $v_R$ be the beat frequencies measured at locations $P . Q$ and $R$, respectively. The speed of sound in air is $330 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$. Which of the following statement($s$) is(are) true regarding the sound heard by the person?

     A narrow tube is bent in the form of a circle of radius $R,$ as shown in the figure. Two small holes $S$ and $D$ are made in the tube at the positions right angle to each other. A source placed at $S$ generated a wave of intensity $I_0$ which is equally divided into two parts : One part travels along the longer path, while the other travels along the shorter path. Both the part waves meet at the point $D$ where a detector is placed If a maxima is formed at the detector then, the magnitude of wavelength $\lambda$ of the wave produced is given by $\pi R$
