B

`n=sqrt(n'n'')`

C

`n=(2n'n'')/(n'+n'')`

D

Statement I: A person is standing near a railway trach. A train is moving on the track. As the train is approaching the person, apparent freqeuncy keeps on increasing and when the train has passed the person, then apparent freqeuncy keeps on decreasing. Statement II: When train is approaching the person then, f=f_0[(c )/(c-u)] and when train is moving away from person f=f_0[(c )/(c+u)] Here, c is velocity of sound u is velocity of train and f_0 is original frequency of whistle.

When a source of frequency f_(0) moves away from a stationary observer with a certain velocity, an apparent frequency f' is observed. When it moves with the same speed towards the observer, the observed frequecy is 1.2 f' . If the velocity of sound is v, then the acutual frequency f_(0) is
