Car is the source and the hill is observer.

Frequeney heard at the hill, $v_{1}$

$\therefore v_{1}=\frac{v \times v}{(v-V)}=\frac{600 \times 330}{330-30}$

Now for reflection, the hill is the source and the driver the observer.

$\therefore v_{2}=v_{1} \times \frac{(330+30)}{330}$

$\Rightarrow v_{2}=\frac{600 \times 330}{300} \times \frac{360}{330} \Rightarrow v_{2}=720 \mathrm{Hz}$
