If a Siren sounds for every 5 seconds, how many times will it sound in ¾ of an hour?

If a Siren sounds for every 5 seconds, how many times will it sound in ¾ of an hour? Correct Answer 541 times

There are 60 minutes in an hour.

In ¾ of an hour there are (60 × ¾) minutes = 45 minutes.

In ¾ of an hour there are (60 × 45) seconds = 2700 seconds.

Siren sounds for every 5 seconds.

In 2700 seconds = 2700/5 = 540 times.

The count start after the first sound, the Siren will sound 541 times in ¾ of an hour.

A siren placed at a railway platform is emitting sound of frequency 5kHz. A passenger sitting in a moving train ‘A’ records a frequency of 5.5 kHz while the train approaches the siren. During his return journey in a different train B he records a frequency of 6kHz while approaching the same siren. The ratio of the velocity of train B to that train A is?
The question below consists of a set of labelled sentences. Out of the four options given, select the most logical order of the sentences to form a coherent paragraph. P: Individuals with APD do not recognise subtle differences between sounds in words, even when the sounds are loud and clear enough to be heard.  Q: Central Auditory Processing Disorder, this is a condition that adversely affects how sound that travels unimpeded through the ear is processed or interpreted by the brain. R: They can also find it difficult to tell where sounds are coming from, to make sense of the order of sounds, or to block out background noises. S: People with APD may process thoughts and ideas slowly and have difficulty explaining them. It is important to realize that learning disabilities can affect an individual’s life beyond academics

In the following question, sentences of a paragraph have been jumbled and labelled as A, B, C and D. You are required to rearrange the jumbled sentences of the paragraph and mark your response accordingly by selecting the correct option. A: As the source continues to vibrate the medium, the vibrations propagate away from the source at the speed of sound, thus forming the sound wave. B: The sound source creates vibrations in the surrounding medium.  C: The sound waves are generated by a sound source, such as the vibrating diaphragm of a stereo speaker. D: Sound can propagate through a medium such as air, water, and solids as longitudinal waves and also as a transverse wave in solids.
A man jumps from a building with a source of sound. When he reaches halfway down, he starts the siren of frequency 100Hz. A person standing below him on the ground hears the first sound to be of frequency 120Hz. What is the height of the building? Speed of sound = 330m/s. Take g=9.81m/s2.
A siren emitting sound of frequency 800Hz is going away from a static listener with a speed of 30m/s. Frequency of the sound to be heard by the listener is (Take velocity of sound as 330m/s).
