JEE Advanced 2019 Paper 1, Question 15
A train S1, moving with a uniform velocity of km/h, approaches another train S2 standing on a platform. An observer O moves with a uniform velocity of km/h towards S2, as shown in figure. Both the trains are blowing whistles of same frequency Hz. When is m away from S2 and distance between and is m, what is the number of beats heard by O?
[Speed of the sound m/s ]
