There is no relative motion between O and B , hence-

 

\mathrm{ f_B^{\prime}=f_B=590 \mathrm{~Hz} }

But

,\mathrm{ \begin{aligned} & f_A^{\prime}=f_B=590 \mathrm{~Hz} . \\ & f_A^{\prime}=f_A\left(\frac{V-v_0}{v}\right) \\ & f_A^{\prime}=660\left(\frac{300-30}{300}\right) \\ & f_A^{\prime}=594 \mathrm{~Hz} . \end{aligned} }

Beat frequency \mathrm{f_B=f_A^{\prime}-f_B^{\prime}=4 \mathrm{~Hz}}
