As we discussed

frequency of sound when source is moving away and observer is moving towards the source -

\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

 

According to doppler's effect

{V}'= V(\frac{V+V_o}{V+V_s})=1392(\frac{343+10}{343+5})

{V}'=1412 \ Hz 


Option 1)

1332 Hz

Incorrect

Option 2)

1372 Hz

Incorrect

Option 3)

1412 Hz

Correct

Option 4)
