An engine is moving with uniform speed along a circular track emitting a sound of frequency $400\, Hz$ as shown in the figure. The speed of the engine is $30\, m/s$ and the speed of sound is $330\, m/s$. An observer is standing inside the track. The maximum frequency observed by the observer is

  • A
    Less than $440\, Hz$
  • B
    Greater than $440\, Hz$
  • C
    Equal to $440\, Hz$
  • D
    Equal to $400\, Hz$
