Two vehicles, each moving with speed $u$ on the same horizontal straight road, are approaching each other. Wind blows along the road with velocity $w$. One of these vehicles blows a whistle of frequency $f_1$. An observer in the other vehicle hears the frequency of the whistle to be $f _2$. The speed of sound in still air is $V$. The correct statement$(s)$ is (are) :
$(A)$ If the wind blows from the observer to the source, $f_2 > f_1$.
$(B)$ If the wind blows from the source to the observer, $f_2 > f_1$.
$(C)$ If the wind blows from the observer to the source, $f _2 < f _1$.
$(D)$ If the wind blows from the source to the observer, $f _2 < f _1$.

If wind blows from source to observer
$f_2 =\left(\frac{(v+w)+u}{(v+w)-u}\right) f_1 $
$\Rightarrow \quad f_2 > f_1$
If wind blows from observer to source
$Image$
$f_2=\left(\frac{(v-w)+u}{(v-w)-u}\right) f_1 $
$\Rightarrow f_2>f_1$
