As discussed in @9345

Frequency of the echo detected by the driver of the train:

V'=\left( \frac{v+u}{v- u} \right )V= \left( \frac{330+220}{330-220} \right )\times 1000=5000 Hz

 


Option 1)

4000 Hz

This option is incorrect.

Option 2)

5000 Hz

This option is correct.

Option 3)

3000 Hz

 

This option is incorrect.

Option 4)
