A train standing at the outer signal of a railway station blows a whistle of frequency 400 Hz still air. The train begins to move with a speed of 10 m/s towards the platform. What is the frequency of the sound for an observer standing on the platform? (sound velocity in air = 330 m/s)

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
As the source is moving towards the observer hence apparent frequency observed is more than the natural frequency
Frequency of whistle
Speed of train = vt= 10m/s
Velocity of sound in air =v= 330m/s
Apparent frequency when source is m
