    A vibrating string of certain length $\ell$ under a tension $\mathrm{T}$ resonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length $75 \mathrm{~cm}$ inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates $4$ beats per second when excited along with a tuning fork of frequency $\mathrm{n}$. Now when the tension of the string is slightly increased the number of beats reduces $2$ per second. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to be $340 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$, the frequency $\mathrm{n}$ of the tuning fork in $\mathrm{Hz}$ is
