A train is moving with a constant speed along a large circular track. The engine of the train emits a sound of frequency $f$ . The frequency heard by the guard at rear end of the train
  • Ais less than $f$
  • Bis greater than $f$
  • Cis equal to $f$
  • Dmay be greater than, less than or equal to $f$ depending on the factors like speed of train, length of train and radius of circular track
