The frequency of two tuning forks A and B are respectively \(1.4 \%\) more and \(2.6 \%\) less than that of the tuning fork C . When A and B are sounded together, 10 beats are produced in 1 second. The frequency of tuning fork C is

  1. A 250 Hz
  2. B 300 Hz
  3. C 340 Hz
  4. D 400 Hz
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 250 Hz

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let n be the frequency of fork C
\(\therefore \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{A}}=\mathrm{n}+\frac{1.4 \mathrm{n}}{100}=\frac{101.4 \mathrm{n}}{100} \text { and } \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{B}}=\mathrm{n}-\)\(\frac{2.6 \mathrm{n}}{100}=\frac{97.4 \mathrm{n}}{100}\)
But \(\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{A}}-\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{B}}=10 \Rightarrow \frac{4 \mathrm{n}}{100}=10 \Rightarrow \mathrm{n}=250 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
