Two loudspeakers $M$ and $N$ are located $20 \ m$ apart and emit sound at frequencies $118 \ Hz$ and $121 \ Hz$,respectively. $A$ car is initially at a point $P$,$1800 \ m$ away from the midpoint $Q$ of the line $MN$ and moves towards $Q$ constantly at $60 \ km/h$ along the perpendicular bisector of $MN$. It crosses $Q$ and eventually reaches a point $R$,$1800 \ m$ away from $Q$. Let $v(t)$ represent the beat frequency measured by a person sitting in the car at time $t$. Let $v_P, v_Q$ and $v_R$ be the beat frequencies measured at locations $P, Q$ and $R$,respectively. The speed of sound in air is $330 \ m/s$. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) true regarding the sound heard by the person?
