Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(91\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f _{1}=\left(\frac{330}{330- v _{ B }}\right) 420\)

\(f _{2}=\left(\frac{330+ v _{0}}{330}\right)\left(\frac{330}{330- v _{ B }}\right) 420\)

\(490=\left(\frac{330+ v _{ B }}{330- v _{ B }}\right) 420\)

\(\frac{7}{6}=\frac{330+ v _{ B }}{330- v _{ B }}\)

\(v _{ B }=\frac{330}{13} m / s\)

\(=\frac{330}{13} \times \frac{18}{5} \approx 91 km / hr\)
