A tuning fork $A$ of unknown frequency produces $5\, beats/s$ with a fork of known frequency $340\, Hz$. When fork $A$ is filed, the beat frequency decreases to $2\, beats/s.$ What is the frequency of fork $A$ ? (in $Hz$)

Initially beat frequency $=5 \,Hz$

so, $\rho_{ A }=340 \pm 5=345\, Hz ,$ or $335\, Hz$

after filing frequency increases slightly

so, new value of frequency of $A >\rho_{ A }$

Now, beat frequency $=2\, Hz$

$\Rightarrow$ new $\rho_{ A }=340 \pm 2=342\, Hz ,$ or $338 \,Hz$
