Answer:
Correct Answer: 55. (d)
Solution:
- (d) When sounded with a source of known frequency fundamental frequency
$=250 \pm 4 Hz=254 Hz$ or $246 Hz$
$2^{\text{nd }}$ harmonic if unknown frequency (suppose) $254 Hz=2 \times 254=508 Hz$
As it gives 5 beats
$\therefore 508+5=513 Hz$
Hence, unknown frequency is $254 Hz$
