    Two identical coherent sound sources $R$ and $S$ with frequency $f$ are $5 \,m$ apart. An observer standing equidistant from the source and at a perpendicular distance of $12 \,m$ from the line $R S$ hears maximum sound intensity.When he moves parallel to $R S$, the sound intensity varies and is a minimum when he comes directly in front of one of the two sources. Then, a possible value of $f$ is close to ............ $Hz$ (the speed of sound is $330 \,m / s$ )

    $Assertion :$ Two waves moving in a uniform string having uniform tension cannot have different velocities.
    $Reason :$ Elastic and inertial properties of string are same for all waves in same string. Moreover speed of wave in a string depends on its elastic and inertial properties only.
