$A$ source and an observer move away from each other with the same velocity of $10 \,ms^{-1}$ with respect to the ground. If the observer finds the frequency of sound coming from the source as $1980 \,Hz$, then the actual frequency of the source is (speed of sound in air $= 340 \,ms^{-1}$). (in $\,Hz$)
