Two organ pipes closed at one end produce \(5\) beats per second in fundamental mode. If the ratio of their lengths is \(10:11\), then their frequencies (in Hz) are:

1. \(55,50\) 2. \(105,100\)
3. \(75,70\) 4. \(100,95\)

Two sitar strings, \(A\) and \(B,\) playing the note \(\mathrm{Ga},\) are slightly out of tune and produce \(6~\text{Hz}\) beats. The tension in the string \(A\) is slightly reduced, and the beat frequency is found to be reduced to \(3~\text{Hz}.\) If the original frequency of \(A\) is \(324~\text{Hz},\) what is the frequency of \(B?\)

1. \(316~\text{Hz}\) 2. \(318~\text{Hz}\)
3. \(319~\text{Hz}\) 4. \(314~\text{Hz}\)

A source of unknown frequency gives \(4\) beats/s when sounded with a source of known frequency of \(250~\text{Hz}.\) The second harmonic of the source of unknown frequency gives five beats per second when sounded with a source of frequency of \(513~\text{Hz}.\) The unknown frequency will be:

1. \(246~\text{Hz}\) 2. \(240~\text{Hz}\)
3. \(260~\text{Hz}\) 4. \(254~\text{Hz}\)

Two wires, \(A\) and \(B,\) of a musical instrument 'Sitar' produce \(3\) beats per second. If the tension of \(B\) is raised, the number of beats becomes \(1\) beat per second. If the frequency of \(A\) is \(450~\text{Hz}\), then the original frequency of \(B\) will be:
1. \(447~\text{Hz}\)
2. \(453~\text{Hz}\)
3. \(449~\text{Hz}\)
4. \(451~\text{Hz}\)

A student tunes his guitar by striking a \(120~\text{Hz}\) with a tuning fork and playing the \(4^{\text{th}}\) string at the same time. By keen observation, he hears the amplitude of the combined sound oscillating thrice per second. Which of the following frequencies is most likely the frequency of the \(4^{\text{th}}\) string on his guitar?
1. \(130\)
2. \(117\)
3. \(110\)
4. \(120\)

Tuning fork \(F_1\) has a frequency of \(256~\text{Hz}\) and it is observed to produce \(6\) beats/second with another tuning fork \(F_2\). When \(F_2\) is loaded with wax, it still produces \(6\) beats/second with \(F_1\). The frequency of \(F_2\) before loading was:
1. \(253~\text{Hz}\)
2. \(262~\text{Hz}\)
3. \(250~\text{Hz}\)
4. \(259~\text{Hz}\)

Two tuning forks, \(A\) and \(B\), vibrating simultaneously produce \(5\) beats. The frequency of \(B\) is \(512~\text{Hz}\). It is seen that if one arm of \(A\) is filed a little, then the number of beats increases. The frequency of \(A\) in Hz will be:
1. \(502\) 2. \(507\)
3. \(517\) 4. \(522\)

A tuning fork of frequency \(512~\text{Hz}\) makes \(4\) beats/s with the vibrating strings of a piano. The beat frequency decreases to \(2\) beats/s when the tension in the piano strings is slightly increased. The frequency of the piano string before increasing the tension was:
1. \(510~\text{Hz}\)
2. \(514~\text{Hz}\)
3. \(516~\text{Hz}\)
4. \(508~\text{Hz}\)
