$A$ speaker emits a sound wave of frequency $f_0$. When it moves towards a stationary observer with speed $u$,the observer measures a frequency $f_1$. If the speaker is stationary and the observer moves towards it with speed $u$,the measured frequency is $f_2$. Then,

  • A
    $f_1=f_2 < f_0$
  • B
    $f_1 > f_2$
  • C
    $f_1 < f_2$
  • D
    $f_1=f_2 > f_0$

Two vehicles,each moving with speed $u$ on the same horizontal straight road,are approaching each other. Wind blows along the road with velocity $w$. One of these vehicles blows a whistle of frequency $f_1$. An observer in the other vehicle hears the frequency of the whistle to be $f_2$. The speed of sound in still air is $V$. The correct statement$(s)$ is (are) :
$(A)$ If the wind blows from the observer to the source,$f_2 > f_1$.
$(B)$ If the wind blows from the source to the observer,$f_2 > f_1$.
$(C)$ If the wind blows from the observer to the source,$f_2 < f_1$.
$(D)$ If the wind blows from the source to the observer,$f_2 < f_1$.
