Two sources of sound emitting sound of nearly equal wavelengths λ₁ and λ₂ are fixed at A and B respectively. A listener moves with velocity u on the perpendicular bisector of line joining A and B. Then the number of beats heard by him per second when it is at distance 2l from A and B, is (Speed of sound = C)

Option 1 -
(C - (u√3)/2) (1/λ₁ - 1/λ₂)
Option 2 -
((2C-u)/2) (1/λ₁ - 1/λ₂)
Option 3 -
(C - √3u) (1/λ₁ - 1/λ₂)
Option 4 -
Zero

Correct Option - 1
Detailed Solution:θ = 60?
f? = (C - u (√3/2)/λ?
f? = (C - u (√3/2)/λ?
|f? - f? | = | (C - u (√3/2) (1/λ? - 1/λ? )|
