Two strings ‘x’ and ‘y’ on a Veena playing the same note are slightly out of tune and produce 6 beats per second. The tension in ‘x’ is slightly decreased and it is found that the beats fall to 3 per second. If the original frequency of ‘x’ is 324 Hz, the frequency of ‘y’ is

Solution

The correct option is A 318 Hz
$f_{x} = 324$
As tension in $x$ is decreased frequency of $x$ decreases and as beats fall with decrease in frequency of $x$ .
So, frequency of $x$ is greater than frequency of $y$ .
$B e a t s = δ_{x} - δ_{y}$
$6 = 324 - δ_{y}$
$\Rightarrow δ_{y} = 318 H_{z}$
