The correct answer is: $\left(\frac{10}{9}\right)$
$v_{\mathrm{s}}=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{10} \quad \mathrm{n}^{\prime}=\mathrm{n} \frac{\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{v}-\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{s}}}$
$\frac{\mathrm{n}^{\prime}}{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\left(\mathrm{v}-\frac{\mathrm{v}}{10}\right)}=\frac{10}{9}$
