(a)By using $n' = n\,\left( {\frac{v}{{v - {v_S}}}} \right)$
$2n = n\,\left( {\frac{{v - {v_O}}}{{v - 0}}} \right)$ ==> ${v_O} = - v = - $(Speed of sound)
Negative sign indicates that observer is moving opposite to the direction of velocity of sound, as shown

    Statement $-1$ : Due to the motion of listener, the frequency of the sound waves (as received by listener) emitted by stationary source is affected.

    Statement $-2$ : Due to the motion of source, wavelength of the sound waves (emitted by source) as received by stationary listener is affected.

    Statement $-3$ : If receiver and source both are moving, the observed frequency must be different from the original frequency of source.

    Treat motion of source or listener as always along a line joining them for all above cases.
