    There are 26 tuning forks arranged in the decreasing order of their frequencies. Each tuning fork gives 3 beats with the next. The first one is octave of the last. What is he frequency of 18th tuning fork?

    A) 100 Hz

    B) \[99\,Hz\]

    C)  \[96\,Hz\]

    D)  \[103{{\,}^{Pz}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Frequency of two consecutive fork is 3 \[f={{f}_{1}}+(n-1)d\] Given, \[{{f}_{1}}=2{{f}_{1}},n=26,d=-3\] \[f=2f+(26-1)(-3)\] \[f=75Hz\] Frequency of \[{{18}^{\text{th}}}\] tuning fork is \[{{f}_{18}}={{f}_{1}}+(18-1)(-3)\] \[{{f}_{18}}=2\times 75+17\times (-3)\] \[150-51=99\,Hz\]
