Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(200\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f_{1}=100=f_{0}\left(\frac{C}{C-V_{5}}\right)\)

\(C =\) speed of sound

\(V_{S}=\) speed of source

\(f_{2}=50=f_{0}\left(\frac{C}{C+V_{5}}\right)\)

\(\frac{f_{1}}{f_{2}}=2=\frac{C+V_{5}}{C-V_{5}}\)

\(2 C -2 V _{ s }= C + V _{ s }\)

\(3 V _{ s }= C\)

\(V _{ S }=\frac{ C }{3}\)

\(100= f _{0} \frac{ C }{\frac{2 C }{3}}=\frac{3}{2} f _{0}\)

\(f _{0}=\frac{200}{3}\)
