A source of sound emits waves with frequency $f$ (in Hz) and has speed $v\text{ ms}^{-1}$. Two observers move away from this source in opposite directions each with a speed $0.2\ v$ relative to the source. The ratio of frequencies heard by the two observers will be
  1. $3 : 2$
  2. $2 : 3$
  3. $1 : 1$
  4. $4 : 10$

Solution

Both the listeners hear the same decreased frequencies.
