When an engine passes near to a stationary observer then its apparent frequencies occurs in the ratio 5/3. if the velocity of sound is 340 m/s then speed of engine is

A

540 m/s

B

270 m/s

C

85 m/s

D

52.5 m/s

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`(f_(1))/(f_(2))=(V+V_(s))/(V-V_(s))`
`V_(s)=85 m//s`
