Two tuning forks $A$ and $B$ produce $8\  beats/s$ when sounded together. A gas column $37.5\  cm$  long in a pipe closed at one end resonate to its fundamental mode with fork $A$ whereas a column of length $38.5\  cm$ of the same gas in a similar pipe is required for a similar resonance with fork $B$. The frequencies of these two tuning forks, are 
  • A$308\ Hz , 300\ Hz$
  • B$208\ Hz , 200\ Hz$
  • C$300\ Hz , 400\ Hz$
  • D$350\ Hz , 500\ Hz$
