0 Hz as there is no relative moving between jets so there is no shift in the frequency.

Explanation:

The jet in which the receiver is present and the jet which is emitting the radio waves of frequency 2.0*10⁶ Hz are moving at same speed. Hence, between the two jets, there is no relative motion and thus, for one of the system, the other is at rest. So, there will be no change in frequency as the radio waves receives the receiver with same frequency because there is no frequency shift.
