Please see the work below.

Work Step by Step

Yes, it is consistent with the postulate that all observers measure the same speed. We know that $v=f\lambda$. This equation shows that wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to each other. Thus, the longer the wavelength, the smaller will be the frequency and hence we have the same speed.
