A train moves towards a stationary observer with speed 34 m/s. The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is `f_(1)`. If the speed of train is reduced to 17 m/s, the frequency registered is `f_(2)`. If speed fo sound is 340 m/s, then the ratio `f_(1)//f_(2)` is :

A

`(18)/(19)`

B

`(1)/(2)`

C

A train moves towards a stationary observer with speed 34 m//s . The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the obsrever is f_(1) . If the train's speed is reduced to 17 m//s , the freuqncy registered is f_(2) . If the speed of sound of 340 m//s , then the ratio f_(1)//f_(2) is

A train moves towards a stationary observer with a speed of 40 m/s. The observer records the frequency of the train's whistle as f_(1) . But when the train's speed is reduced to 20 m/s, the frequency of the whistle recored by him is f_(2) . What is the ratio (f_(1))/(f_(2)) , if the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s ?
