An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound with a speed $1/5^{th}$ of the speed of sound. The wavelength and frequency of the source emitted are $\lambda $ and $f$ respectively. The apparent frequency and wavelength recorded by the observer are respectively
  • A$1.2f,1.2\,\lambda $
  • B$1.2f,\lambda $
  • C$f,1.2\,\lambda $
  • D$0.8f,0.8\,\lambda $
