Solution

The correct option is D 72 and 36
Each fork produces 4 beats per second with the previous means each fork has frequency 4 Hz more than the previous.
So the 10th fork will have frequency 9×4=36Hz more than the 1st
So this is an algebraic equation as 2xx=36
Hence the frequencies are 72 and 36
