When the observer moves towards a stationary source with velocity $V_{1}$,the apparent frequency of the emitted note is $F_{1}$. When the observer moves away from the source with velocity $V_{1}$,the apparent frequency is $F_{2}$. If $V$ is the velocity of sound in air and $F_{1} / F_{2} = 2$,then $V / V_{1}$ is equal to:

$A$ source is stationary and the observer is in motion along a line joining the source and the observer. If the frequency heard by the observer is $1\%$ higher than the true frequency,the ratio of velocity of the observer and that of sound in air is:
