Correct answer
B. and
Step-by-step solution
Given frequency of the source,
Radius of the circular path,
Angular speed,
Linear speed of the source,
The maximum frequency is heard when the source moves directly towards the listener:
f_\max = f_0 \left( \dfrac{v}{v - v_s} \right)<br><br>f_\max = 500 \left( \dfrac{332}{332 - 10} \right) =515.5\ 516\ the source moves directly away from the listener:
f_\min = f_0 \left( \dfrac{v}{v + v_s} \right)f_\min = 500 \left( \dfrac{332}{332 + 10} \right) = 500 \left( \dfrac{332}{342} \right) \approx 485.3\ \text{Hz} \approx 485\ \text{Hz}516\ \text{Hz} and
