Solution

The correct option is C 1480 Hz

Here given, apparent frequency when the train was approaching the man = 1620 Hz .So original frequency of the train is given by

1620=(332+033215)f

f=(1620×317332)Hz

So, apparent frequency of the train observed by the observer when the train is going away from him.

f=(332+0332+15)×(1620×317332)=317347×1620=1480Hz.
