As we learnt in

Frequency of sound when source and observer are moving towards 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

 

 f_{app}=f_{o}\left[ \frac{v+v_{o}}{v-v_{s}} \right ]=400 \left[ \frac{340+16.5}{340-22} \right ]

\therefore f_{app}=448 Hz
