Answer:

915 Hz

Explanation:

The observed frequency from a sound source is given as

f₀ = f [(v + v₀)/(v+vₛ)]

where

f₀ = observed frequency of the sound by the observer = ?

f = actual frequency of the sound wave = 983 Hz

v = actual velocity of the sound waves = 343 m/s

vₛ = velocity of the source of the sound waves = 55.9 m/s

v₀ = velocity of the observer = 28.4 m/s

f₀ = 983 [(343+28.4)/(343+55.9)]

f₀ = 915.2 Hz = 915 Hz
