A train moves towards a stationary observer with a speed $34 \,m / s$. 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$\frac{19}{18}$
