$A$ racing car moving towards a cliff sounds its horn. The driver observes that the sound reflected from the cliff has a pitch one octave higher than the actual sound of the horn. If $v$ is the velocity of sound,the velocity of the car will be

  • A
    $\frac{v}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{v}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{v}{3}$
  • D
