Question

An observer is standing between two vehicles, each moving with a speed 4 ms–1. One vehicle is approaching him and the other going away from him. If each vehicle is blowing a horn of frequency 240 Hz and the speed of sound is 320 ms–1, the number of beats per second will be

Solution

Correct option is

6
