As discussed in

Frequency of sound when observer is stationary and source is moving towards observer -

\nu {}'= \nu _{0}.\frac{C}{C-V_{s}}
 

- wherein

C= speed of sound

V_{s}= speed of source

\nu _{0}= original frequency

\nu {}'= apparent frequency

 

 Apparent frequency,

V'=\frac{V}{V-V_{s}}V_{0}

=\frac{330}{330-15}V_{0}=838 Hz


Option 1)

765 Hz

This option is incorrect.

Option 2)

800 Hz

This option is incorrect.

Option 3)

838 Hz

This option is correct.

Option 4)

885 Hz

This option is incorrect.
