Question
The vibrating tuning fork is moving slowly and uniformly in a horizontal circular path of radius 8m. The shortest distance of an observer in the same plane from the tuning fork is 9m. The distance between the tuning fork and observer at the instant when the apparent frequency becomes maximum is?

Solution
If the fork moves in the anti-clockwise direction the
frequency heard is the maximum when the fork is approaching the observer. But
for the maximum apparent frequency, the position of the observer will
be at R.
So we will apply the Pythagorean theorem on
triangle ROP
PR = underoot OP square + OR square
= underoot 17 square + 8 square
= underoot 353 = 18.79m
