$A$ source of sound emits waves with frequency $f \, Hz$ and speed $V \, m/s$. Two observers move away from this source in opposite directions,each with a speed $0.2V$ relative to the source. The ratio of frequencies heard by the two observers will be

  • A
    $3:2$
  • B
    $2:3$
  • C
    $1:1$
  • D
    $4:10$
