Questions  

The frequency of tuning forks A and B are respectively 3% more and 2% less than the frequency of tuning fork C. When A and B are simultaneously excited, 5 beats per second are produced. Then the frequency of the tuning fork 'A' (in Hz) is 

a
98
b
100
c
103
d
105

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Let n be the frequency of fork C thennA=n+3n100=103n100  and  nB=n−2n100=98100but  nA−nB=5⇒5n100=5⇒n=100 Hz∴nA=(103)(100)100=103 Hz
