In a gultar, two strings $A$ and $B$ made of same materlal are slightly out of tune and produce beats of frequency $6\, Hz$. When tension in $B$ is slightly decreased, the beat frequency increases to $7 \,Hz$. If the frequency of $A$ is $530\, Hz ,$ the orlginal frequency of $B$ will be $.........Hz$
  • A
    $537$
  • B
    $523$
  • $524$
  • D
    $536$
