Two persons $A$ and $B$, each carrying a source of sound of frequency $n$, are standing a few metres apart in a quiet field. $A$ starts moving towards $B$ with a speed $u$. If $v$ is the speed of sound, the number of beats heard per second by $A$ will be

  • A
    $\frac{nu}{v}$
  • B
    $\frac{2nu}{v}$
  • C
    $\frac{nu}{v+u}$
  • D
    $\frac{nu}{v-u}$
