according to question, police man detects 10% drop in the pitch when the car crosses him. So, the apparent frequency when the car moves away from him is 90% of the apparent frequency when the car approaches him.
now use Doppler's effect of sound,
therefore , when car approaches him,
\nu_1=\nu_0\left(\frac{V}{V-V_s}\right)ν1=ν0(V−VsV)
The apparent frequency , when the car moves away
\nu_2=\nu\left(\frac{V}{V+V_s}\right)ν2=ν(V+VsV)
from question,
v_2=0.9v_1v2=0.9v1
so, \frac{V}{V+V_s}=0.9\frac{V}{V-V_s}V+VsV=0.9V−VsV
9(V+Vs) = 10(V - Vs)
19Vs = V
Vs = V/19 = 330/19 = 17m/s
