A train moves towards a stationary observer with speed \(34\, m/s\). The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is \(f_1\). If the speed of the train is reduced to \(17\, m/s\), the frequency registered is \(f_2\). If speed of sound is \(340\, m/s\), then the ratio \(f_1/f_2\) is
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(19/18\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{f}_{1}=\mathrm{f}_{0}\left(\frac{340}{340-34}\right) \quad ; \quad \mathrm{f}_{2}=\mathrm{f}_{0}\left(\frac{340}{340-17}\right)\)
\(\frac{f_{1}}{f_{2}}=\frac{323}{306}=\frac{19}{18}\)

JEE Mains 2014 Hard - Given below are two statements:
Statement I: An object moves from position \( r_{1} \) to position \( r_{2} \) under a conservative force field \( \vec{F} \). The work done by the force is \( W=-\int_{r_{1}}^{r_{2}}\vec{F}\cdot d\vec{r} \).
Statement II Any object moving from one location to another location can follow infinite number of paths. Therefore, the amount of work done by the object changes with the path it follows for a conservative force.
