$A$ small source of sound moves on a circle as shown in the figure and an observer is standing at $O.$ Let $n_1, n_2$ and $n_3$ be the frequencies heard when the source is at $A, B$ and $C$ respectively. Then

  • A
    $n_1 > n_2 > n_3$
  • B
    $n_2 > n_3 > n_1$
  • C
    $n_1 = n_2 > n_3$
  • D
    $n_2 > n_1 > n_3$
