(a) $nA = ?, nB =$ Known frequency $= 320 Hz$

$x = 4$ bps, which remains same after filing.

Unknown fork $A$ is filed so $nA\uparrow$

Hence $nA\uparrow -nB = x$ Wrong

$nB -nA\uparrow = x$ Correct

==> $nA = nB -x = 320 -4 = 316 Hz$.

This is the frequency before filing.

But in question frequency after filing is asked which must be greater than $316 Hz$, such that it produces $4$ beats per sec. Hence it is $324 Hz.$
