A vibrating string of certain length 1 under a tension T resonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length 75 cm inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates 4 beats per second when excited along with a tuning fork of frequency n. Now when the tension of the string is slightly increased the number of beats reduces to 2 per second. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to be 340 m/s, the frequency n of the tuning fork in Hz is:

A
344
B
336
C
117.3
D
109.3

Two trains $$A$$ and $$B$$ are moving with speeds $$20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$$ and $$30 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$$ respectively in the same direction on the same straight track, with $$B$$ ahead of $$A$$. The engines are at the front ends. The engines of train A blows a long whistle.

Assume that the sound of the whistle is composed of components varying in frequency from $$f_{1}=800 \mathrm{~Hz}$$ to $$f_{2}=1120 \mathrm{~Hz}$$, as shown in the figure. The spread in the frequency (highest frequency - lowest frequency) is thus $$320 \mathrm{~Hz}$$. The speed of sound in still air is $$340 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$$.
