Two electric trains run at the same speed of 72 km h^-1 along the same track and in the same direction with a separation of 2.4 km between them. The two trains simultaneously sound brief whistles. A person is situated at a perpendicular distance of 500 m from the track and is equidistant from the two trains at the instant of the whistling. If both the whistles were at 500 Hz and the speed of sound in air is 340 m s^-1 , find the frequencies heard by the person.
