The frequency changes by $10\%$ as a sound source approaches a stationary observer with constant speed $v_s$. What would be the percentage change in frequency as the source recedes from the observer with the same speed? (Given that $v_s < v$,where $v$ is the speed of sound in air)

  • A
    $14.3$
  • B
    $20$
  • C
    $10.0$
  • D
    $8.5$
