A train moving with a uniform velocity of approaches another train standing on a platform. An observer moves with a uniform velocity of towards as shown in figure. Both the trains are blowing whistles of same frequency When is away from and distance between and is the number of beats heard by is____
[Speed of the sound 
Correct answer: 8.128
Solution
Speed of sound=
Calculate beat 
Where, and are the apparent frequencies of train and observed by observer.
Using Doppler's effect,
Hence, the correct answer is 8.128.
