$A$ car sounding a horn of frequency $1000 \ Hz$ passes a stationary observer. The ratio of the frequencies of the horn noted by the observer before and after the passing of the car is $11 : 9$. If the speed of sound is $v$,what is the speed of the car?

  • A
    $\frac{1}{10}v$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}v$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{5}v$
  • D
    $v$
