The driver of a car travelling with a speed $V_1 \ m/s$ towards a wall sounds a siren of frequency $n \ Hz$. If the velocity of sound in air is $V \ m/s$,then the frequency of sound reflected from the wall and as heard by the driver,in $Hz$,is

  • A
    $\left(\frac{V+V_1}{V-V_1}\right) n$
  • B
    $\left(\frac{V-V_1}{V+V_1}\right) n$
  • C
    $\left(\frac{V_1-V}{V_1+V}\right) n$
  • D
    $\left(\frac{V_1}{V_1-V}\right) n$
