As we learnt in 

Frequency of sound when source & observer are moving away from each other -

\nu {}'= \nu _{0}.\frac{C-V_{0}}{C+V_{s}}
 

- wherein

C= Speed of sound

V_{0}= Speed of observer

V_{s}= speed of source

\nu _{0 }= Original frequency

\nu {}'= apparent frequency

 

 \nu_{o}\:=\:1500

Here both are moving away from each other

\Rightarrow \nu=\nu_{o}\:.\:\left(\frac{C-V_{o}}{C+V_{s}} \right )=1500\:\left(\frac{330-30}{330+30} \right )

\because\:V=108\:Km/hr\:=\:30\:m/s

\nu=1500\times\frac{300}{360}\:Hz\:=1250\:Hz

 


Option 1)

1250 Hz

This option is correct.

Option 2)

625 Hz

This option is incorrect.

Option 3)

1500 Hz

This option is incorrect.

Option 4)
