When a guitar string is sounded with a $440\, Hz$ tuning fork, a beat frequency of $5\, Hz$ is heard. If the experiment is repeated with a tuning fork of $437\,Hz$, the beat frequency is $8\, Hz$. The string frequency $(Hz)$ is

If we decrease the frequency of tuning fork no. of beat is increased i.e., difference of frequency is increased. It means unknown frequency is more than $440\, Hz$. So it is $440 + 5 = 445\, Hz.$
