Two vibrating tuning forks produce progressive waves given by $y_1= 4 \sin (500 \, \pi t)$  and $y_2= 2 \sin (506 \, \pi t)$. These tuning forks are held near the ear of a person.  The person will hear
  • A$3\, beats/s$ with intensity ratio between maxima and minima equal to $4$
  • B$3 \,beats/s$ with intensity ratio between maxima and minima equal to $9.$
  • C$6\, beats/s$ with intensity ratio between maxima and minima equal to $4.$
  • D$6\, beats/s$ with intensity ratio between maxima and minima equal to $9.$
