Detailed Solution

Let say fA=f and fB=340 , A and B produces 5 beats.So, either f1=340+5=345 Hzor f2=340-5=335 HzWhen fork A if filed, its frequency increases, by 3 Hz (assume).So, new frequency of fork A iseither f1' =340+3=343 Hzor       f2' =335+3=338 HzAs per question , the new frequency of A should have beat frequency of 2 beat/s with B. This is satisfied by  f2'.Hence, original frequency of fork A is f2=335 Hz
