Question

Statement-1: When two vibrating tuning forks having frequencies 256 Hz and 512 Hz are held near each other, beats cannot be heard.

Statement-2: The principle of superposition is valid only if the frequencies of the oscillations are nearly equal.

• A. Both the statements are true and statement-2 is the correct explanation of statement-1
• B. Both the statements are true but statement-2 is not the correct explanation of statement-1
• C. Statement-1 is true and statement-2 is false
