Detailed Solution

Whistling train is the source of sound vs=V. Before crossing a stationary observer on station, frequency heard is n'=vn(vvs)=vnv+V  constant and  n'>n.
Here, v is velocity of sound in air and n is actual frequency of whistle.
After crossing the stationary observer, frequency heard is n'=vn(v+vs)=vnv+V  constant and n'>n. 
Therefore, the expected curve is (c).
