A whistle emitting a loud sound of frequency $540 \,Hz$ is whirled in a horizontal circle of radius $2 \,m$ and at a constant angular speed of $15 \,rad / s$. The speed of sound is $330 \,m / s$. The ratio of the highest to the lowest frequency heard by a listener standing at rest at a large distance from the centre of the circle is
  • A$1.0$
  • B$1.1$
  • C$1.2$
  • D$1.4$
