Two electric trains run at the same speed of $72km/h$ along the same track and in the same direction with a separation of $2.4km$ between them. The two trains simultaneously sound brief whistles. A person is situated at a perpendicular distance of 500m from the track and is equidistant from the two trains at the instant of the whistling. If both the whistles were at $500Hz$ and the speed of sound in air is $340m/s$, find the frequencies heard by the person.
