A source of sound $S$ having frequency $f.$ Wind is blowing from source to observer $O$ with velocity $u$. If speed of sound with respect to air is $C,$ the wavelength of sound detected by $O$ is: 
  • A$\frac{{C + \,u}}{f}$
  • B$\frac{{C - u}}{f}$
  • C$\frac{{C\left( {C + u} \right)}}{{\left( {C - u} \right)f}}$
  • D$\frac{C}{f}$
