When two tuning forks (fork 1 and fork 2) are sounded simultaneously, 4 beats per second are heard. Now, some tape is attached on the prong of the fork 2. When the tuning forks are sounded again, 6 beats per seconds are heard. If the frequency of fork 1 is 200 Hz, then what was the original frequency of fork 2?
(1) 200 Hz
(2) 202 Hz
(3) 196 Hz
(4) 204 Hz

The correct answer is (3)
|f1−f2| =4
Since mass of second tuning fork increases so f2 decrease and beats increase so
f1>f2
⇒ f2=f1−4 = 196
