$A$ car is moving at a velocity of $17 \ m/s$ towards an approaching bus that blows a horn at a frequency of $640 \ Hz$ on a straight track. The frequency of this horn appears to be $680 \ Hz$ to the car driver. If the velocity of sound in air is $340 \ m/s$,then the velocity of the approaching bus is: (in $m/s$)

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $8$
