Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
When an observer moves towards an stationary source of sound, then apparent frequency heard by the observer increases. The apparent frequency heard in this situation

as source is stationary hence, 

Given 
Substituting in the relation for
, we have

Motion of observer does not affect the wavelength reaching the observer, hence, wavelength remains
