(d) Initial frequency of each wire $(n)$
$ = \frac{{{\rm{(Number}}\;{\rm{of}}\;{\rm{beats}}\;{\rm{heared}}\;{\rm{per}}\;{\rm{sec)}} \times {\rm{200}}}}{{{\rm{(per}}\;{\rm{centage}}\;{\rm{change}}\;{\rm{in}}\;{\rm{tension}}\;{\rm{of}}\;{\rm{the}}\;{\rm{wire)}}}}$
$ = \frac{{(3/2) \times 200}}{1} = 300{\sec ^{ - 1}}$
