A tuning fork is used to produce resonance in a glass tube. The length of the air column in this tube can be adjusted by a variable piston. At room temperature of 27°C, two successive resonances are produced at $20$ $ \mathrm{cm}$ and $73$ $\mathrm{cm}$ of column length. If the frequency of the tuning fork is $320$ $ \mathrm{Hz}$, the velocity of sound in air at 27°C is,

A source of sound S emitting waves of frequency 100 Hz and an observer O are located at some distance from each other. The source is moving with a speed of 19.4 m s-1 at an angle of 60°with the source observer line as shown in the figure. The observer is at rest. The apparent frequency observed by the observer (velocity of sound in air 330 m s-1 ), is
