A source of unknown frequency gives \(4\text{ beats/s}\) when sounded with a source of known frequency \(250\text{ Hz}.\) The second harmonic of the source of unknown frequency gives five beats per second when sounded with a source of frequency \(513\text{ Hz}.\) The unknown frequency is:
1. \(246\text{ Hz}\)
2. \(240\text{ Hz}\)
3. \(260\text{ Hz}\)
4. \(254\text{ Hz}\)

Two tuning forks of frequencies \(n_1\) and \(n_2\) produce \(n\) beats per second. If \(n_2\) and \(n\) are known, \(n_1\) may be given by:
1. \(\frac{{n}_{2}}{n}{+}{n}_{2}\)
2. \(n_2n\)
3. \({n}_{2}\pm{n}\)
4. \(\frac{{n}_{2}}{n}{-}{n}_{2}\)
1. \(\frac{{n}_{2}}{n}{+}{n}_{2}\)
2. \(n_2n\)
3. \({n}_{2}\pm{n}\)
4. \(\frac{{n}_{2}}{n}{-}{n}_{2}\)
