Detailed Solution

The given statement is False.
We cannot determine whether a tabla or a violin has the same pitch. It is because the pitch of the instruments mentioned above depends on the circumference area and the string length used in the instruments, respectively.
Pitch is the rise and fall of sound when it is produced from its origin. It is the characteristic of sound by which we can distinguish the sounds of the same loudness.
The frequency of a sound is the number of waves that pass a point per unit of time.
A tabla pitch will be varied if the area of the tabla and the circumference of the tabla head varies. Likewise, the violin's pitch is varied by altering the length of the string. Thus the pitch of the instruments of the same categories can be compared.
The correct statement would be that we cannot say that a tabla and a violin have the same pitch.
