The driver of a bus approaching a big wall notices that the frequency of his bus's horn changes from $420\, Hz$ to $490\, Hz$,when he hears it after it gets reflected from the wall. Find the speed of the bus (in $kmh^{-1}$) if the speed of sound is $330\, ms^{-1}$.

  • A
    $91$
  • B
    $71$
  • C
    $81$
  • D
    $61$
