n' = n\left [ \frac{v}{v+v_{s}} \right ] = 800\left [ \frac{330}{330+30} \right ]= 733.33HZ

 

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