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

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

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
