$A$ train moves towards a stationary observer with a speed of $34 \, m/s$. The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is $f_1$. If the speed of the train is reduced to $17 \, m/s$,the frequency registered is $f_2$. If the speed of sound is $340 \, m/s$,then the ratio $\frac{f_1}{f_2}$ is ..........

  • A
    $\frac{18}{19}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $\frac{19}{18}$
