A car is moving towards a high cliff. The driver sounds a horn of frequencyf. The reflected sound heard by the driver has frequency2f. Ifvis the velocity of sound, then the velocity of the car, in the same velocity units, will be

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

1st the car is the source and at the cliff, one observesf'.

∴  f'=vv-vsf

2ndcliff is now source. It emits frequencyf'and the observer is now the driver who observesf''.

∴  f''=v+v0vf'or2f=v+v0v-vsf

⇒  2v-2v0=v+v0v=v0+2v0as vs=v0

⇒  v0=v3
