A speed motorcyclist sees a traffic jam ahead of him. He slows down to 36km/h. He finds that traffic has eased and a car moving in front of him at 18km/h is honking at a frequency of 1392Hz. If the speed of sound is 343m/s, the frequency of the honk as heard by him will be 
1. 1332Hz
2. 1372Hz
3. 1412Hz
4. 1454Hz

When a string is divided into three segments of lengths l1, l2 and l3, the fundamental frequencies of these three segments are v1, v2 and v3 respectively. The original fundamental frequency (v) of the string is 

(1) v=v1+v2+v3

(2) v=v1+v2+v3

(3) 1v=1v1+1v2+1v3

(4) 1v=1v1+1v2+1v3
