The frequency of transverse vibrations in a stretched string is 200 Hz. If the tension is increased four times and the length is reduced to one-fourth the original value, the frequency of vibration will be 

a
25 Hz
b
200 Hz
c
400 Hz
d
1600 Hz

detailed solution

Correct option is D

n=12lTm⇒n1n2=l2l1T1T2=1414=18⇒n2=8n1=8×200=1600Hz
