Eleven tuning forks are arranged in increasing order of frequency in such a way that any two consecutive tuning forks produce 4 beats per second. The highest frequency is twice that of the lowest. The highest and the lowest frequencies (in Hz) are, respectively:
1. | 100 and 50 | 2. | 44 and 22 |
3. | 80 and 40 | 4. | 72 and 30 |
Consecutive frequencies emitted from an organ pipe are 75Hz, 125Hz, 175Hz. The frequency of the tenth overtone will be:
