(c) After filling frequency increases, so ${n_A}$ decreases ($\downarrow$). Also it is given that beat frequency increases (i.e., $x \uparrow$)

Hence $ n_A\downarrow -n_B = x\uparrow$ ... $(i)$ $\rightarrow$ Correct

$n_B -n_A\uparrow = x\uparrow$ ... $(ii)$ $\rightarrow$ Wrong

==> $n_A = n_B + x = 512 + 5 = 517 Hz.$

    In an experiment to measure the speed of sound by a resonating air column, a tuning fork of frequency $500 Hz$ is used. The length of the air column is varied by changing the level of water in the resonance tube. Two successive resonances are heard at air columns of length $50.7 cm$ and $83.9 cm$. Which of the following statements is (are) true?

    $(A)$ The speed of sound determined from this experiment is $332 m s ^{-1}$

    $(B)$ The end correction in this experiment is $0.9 cm$

    $(C)$ The wavelength of the sound wave is $66.4 cm$
