The intensity of sound during the festival season increased by $100$ times. This could imply a decibel $(dB)$ level rise from
  • A$20\,dB$ to $120 \,dB$
  • B$70 \,dB$ to $72 \,dB$
  • C$100 \,dB$ to $10000 \,dB$
  • D$80 \,dB$ to $100 \,dB$

    A sound source $S$ is moving along a straight track with speed $v,$ and is emitting sound of frequency $v_{o}$ (see figure). An observer is standing at a finite clistance, at the point $O$, from the track. The time variation of frequency heard by the observer is best represented by

    $\left(t_{0}\right.$ represents the instant when the distance between the source and observer is minimum)
