Solution

The correct option is B 252

Let the frequency of B be 'x'.

Difference between x and 256 is 4. Therefore 'x' can take 260 or 252.

When A is slightly loaded its frequency will decrease and the beats are found as 2, thus the frequency will change to 254.

X will be 252 to satisfy above conditions.
