As we learnt in 

Doppler Effect -

When a source of sound and a listener are in motion relative to each other, the frequency of the sound heard by the listener is not the same as the source frequency.

-

 

The direction of motion of observer does not effect frequency heard by them. Since both are moving away from source, frequency heard by them is same.

\therefore Ratio=1
