n'=\left [ \frac{v+v_{0}}{v-v_{s}} \right ]n

n'=120\left [ \frac{325+90\times 518}{325-90\times 518} \right ]= 140

 

frequency of sound when source is moving towards the observer and observer is moving away from source -

\nu {}'= \nu _{0}.\frac{C-V_{0}}{C-V_{s}}

- wherein

C= Speed of sound

V_{0}= Speed of observer

V_{s}= speed of source

\nu _{0 }= Original frequency

\nu {}'= apparent frequency
