$A$ train standing at the outer signal of a railway station blows a whistle of frequency $400 \ Hz$ in still air. The train begins to move with a speed of $10 \ ms^{-1}$ towards the platform. What is the frequency of the sound for an observer standing on the platform (in $Hz$)? (Sound velocity in air $= 330 \ ms^{-1}$).

  • A
    $400$
  • B
    $412.5$
  • C
    $387.5$
