c (c) $n_A$ = Known frequency$ = 256 Hz, n_B = ?$
$x = 4$ beats per sec which is decreasing ($4\, bps$ to $\frac{5}{2}bps$) after loading (i.e. $x\downarrow$)
Unknown tuning fork $B,$ is loaded so $ n_B\downarrow$
Hence $n_A -n_B\downarrow = x\downarrow$ ... $(i)$ $\rightarrow$ Wrong
$n_B\downarrow-n_A = x\downarrow$ ... $(ii)$ $\rightarrow$ Correct
$\Rightarrow$ $n_B = n_A + x = 256 + 4 = 260 Hz.$

The equation of a transverse wave travelling on a rope is given by $y = 10\sin \pi (0.01x - 2.00t)$ where $y$ and $x$ are in $cm$ and $t$ in $seconds$. The maximum transverse speed of a particle in the rope is about .... $cm/s$
A person is observing two trains one coming towards him and other leaving with the same speed $4\, m/s$. If their whistling frequencies are $240\, Hz$ each, then the number of beats per second heard by the person will be:(if velocity of sound is $320\, m/s$)
The ratio of maximum to minimum intensity due to superposition of two waves is $\frac{{49}}{9}$ Then the ratio of the intensity of component waves is .
Two perfectly identical wires are in unison. When the tension in one wire is increased by $1\%$, then on sounding them together $3$ beats are heard in $2 \,sec$. The initial frequency of each wire is .... ${\sec ^{ - 1}}$
The figure represents the instantaneous picture of a longitudinal harmonic wave travelling along the negative $x$-axis. Identify the correct statement $(s)$ related to the movement of the points shown in the figure. The maximum displaced points are
$A$ and $B$ are two sources generating sound waves. A listener is situated at $C$ . The frequency of the source at $A$ is $500\,Hz$ . $A,$ now, moves towards $C$ with a speed $4\,m/s.$ The number of beats heard at $C$ is $6.$ When $A$ moves away from $C$ with speed $4\,m/s,$ the number of beats heard at $C$ is $18.$ The speed of sound is $340\,m/s.$ The frequency of the source at $B$ is ..... $Hz$
An earthquake generates both transverse $(S)$ and longitudinal $(P)$ sound waves in the earth. The speed of $S$ waves is about $4.5\,km/s$ and that of $P$ waves is about $8.0\, km/s$. A seismograph records $P$ and $S$ waves from an earthquake. The first $P$ wave arrives $4.0 \,min$ before the first $S$ wave. The epicenter of the earthquake is located at a distance about ..... $km$
A source of sound $S$ emitting waves of frequency $100\,\, Hz$ and an observer $O$ are ocated at some distance from each other. The source is moving with a speed of $19 .4\,\, m s^{-1}$ at an angle of $60^o $ with the source observer line as shown in the figure. The observer is at rest. The apparent frequency observed by the observer .... $Hz$ (velocity of sound in air $330 \,\, m s^{-1}$), is
