    A vibrating string of certain length $l$ 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 person blows into open-end of a long pipe. As a result, a high-pressure pulse of air travels down the pipe. When this pulse reaches the other end of the pipe then which of the following statements are true ?

    $(I)$ a high-pressure pulse starts travelling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is open

    $(II)$ a low -pressure pulse starts travelling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is open

    $(III)$ a low pressure pulse starts travelling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is closed

    $(IV)$ a high-pressure pulse starts travelling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is closed
