best_answer

n'= n[\frac{v+v_{0}}{v}]\Rightarrow 2n= n[\frac{v+v_{0}}{v}]

\frac{v+v_{0}}{v}= 2 \Rightarrow v_{0}=v= 332m/s

 

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
