With what velocity an observer should move relative to a stationary source so that a sound of triple the frequency of source is heard by an observer?

  • A
    Same as velocity of sound towards the source.
  • B
    Same as velocity of sound away from the source.
  • C
    Half the velocity of sound towards the source.
  • D
