Solution
The correct option is B Statement-1 is true and statement-2 is false For beats to be heard the two frequencies should be close to each other. When two frequencies are f and 2f, the beat frequency is 2f−f=f which is the original frequency.
Thus no beats are heard. Principle of super position is valid for all frequencies.
