Two sitar strings, AA and BB playing the note 'DhaDha' are slightly out of tune and produce beats of frequency 5Hz5Hz. The tension of the string BB is slightly increased and the beat frequency is found to decrease by 3Hz3Hz. If the frequency of AA is 425Hz425Hz. The original frequency of BB is

Options

  1. A428Hz428Hz
  2. B430Hz430Hz
  3. C422Hz422Hz
  4. D420Hz420Hz

Correct answer

D. 420Hz420Hz

Step-by-step solution

The frequency of BB is either 420Hz420Hz or 430 Hz. As, the tension in BB is increased its frequency will increase. If the frequency is 430Hz430Hz, the beat frequency will increase. If the frequency is 420Hz420Hz beat frequency will decrease, hence the correct answer is 420Hz.420Hz .
