Labels \(1,2,3,4,5\) show wavefronts emitted successively at regular interval \(T=\frac{1}{f}\) , \(f\) is frequency, when the source is located at \(S_{1},S_{2},S_{3},S_{4},S_{5}\) respectively. Each wavefront will have its centre at the position where the source was situated while emitting the wavefront. The radius of preceding wavefront will exceed the next one by an amount \(Vt\). The wavefront for position \(S_{5}\) is just being emitted and therefore it is a point
Consider the diagram above, . Speed of sound and frequency are and respectively. The velocity of source is
In the above diagram value of will be

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

@Raghav Vaidyanathan @Ronak Agarwal @Nishant Rai , Answers are 110m/s and CD=32m
This is easy. The difference of the radii of the two different circles is given by Wavelength since you see every wavefront is being released at time
1/f ( Distance=Speed Time , v1/f )
But the extra distance between A and B is coming because of the speed of the source
The extra distance is fvSource
With this difference you can calculate the speed.
Find CD is also easy since you can subtract the extra difference from the wavelength to get the answer.

can u elaborate the CD one, in the first one u mean to say 34−330330=fvsource

ok i got its CD−1=31
