A train standing at the outer signal of ...

A train standing at the outer signal of a railway station blows a whistle of frequency 400 Hz in still air .The train begins to move with a speed of `10ms^(-1)` towards the platform. What is the frequency of the sound for an observer standing on the platform?(sound velocity in air = `(330ms^(-1))`)
