Answer

The official hears a frequency of $~~2000~Hz$

Work Step by Step

In this situation: $f = 2000~Hz$ $v_D = 12~m/s$ $v_S = 12~m/s$ We can find the frequency that the official hears: $f' = f~\frac{v-v_D}{v-v_S}$ $f' = (2000~Hz)~(\frac{343~m/s-12~m/s}{343~m/s-12~m/s})$ $f' = 2000~Hz$ The official hears a frequency of $~~2000~Hz$
