When the source of sound moves away from a stationary listener,we obtain $f_{L} < f_{S}$. Why?

An obstacle is moving towards the source with velocity $v$. The sound is reflected from the obstacle. If $c$ is the speed of sound and $\lambda$ is the wavelength,then the wavelength of the reflected wave $(\lambda_{r})$ is

$A$ source of sound emitting a note of frequency $200 Hz$ moves towards an observer with a velocity $v$ equal to the velocity of sound. If the observer also moves away from the source with the same velocity $v$,the apparent frequency heard by the observer is .... $Hz$

Two trains $A$ and $B$ are moving with speeds $20 \ m/s$ and $30 \ m/s$ respectively in the same direction on the same straight track,with $B$ ahead of $A$. The engines are at the front ends. The engine of train $A$ blows a long whistle. Assume that the sound of the whistle is composed of components varying in frequency from $f_1=800 \ Hz$ to $f_2=1120 \ Hz$,as shown in the figure. The spread in the frequency (highest frequency - lowest frequency) is thus $320 \ Hz$. The speed of sound in still air is $340 \ m/s$.
$1.$ The speed of sound of the whistle is
$(A)$ $340 \ m/s$ for passengers in $A$ and $310 \ m/s$ for passengers in $B$
$(B)$ $360 \ m/s$ for passengers in $A$ and $310 \ m/s$ for passengers in $B$
$(C)$ $310 \ m/s$ for passengers in $A$ and $360 \ m/s$ for passengers in $B$
$(D)$ $340 \ m/s$ for passengers in both the trains
$2.$ The distribution of the sound intensity of the whistle as observed by the passengers in train $A$ is best represented by
$3.$ The spread of frequency as observed by the passengers in train $B$ is
$(A)$ $310 \ Hz$ $(B)$ $330 \ Hz$ $(C)$ $350 \ Hz$ $(D)$ $290 \ Hz$
Give the answer for question $1, 2$ and $3$.

$A$ source of sound is moving with a velocity of $50 \ m/s$ towards a stationary observer. The observer measures the frequency of sound as $500 \ Hz$. The apparent frequency of sound as heard by the observer when the source is moving away from him with the same speed is (Speed of sound at room temperature $350 \ m/s$). (in $Hz$)
