Fifty six tuning forks are arranged in a series such that each fork gives 6 beats per second with the preceding one. Assuming the frequency of the last fork to be double of the first fork, the frequency of the last fork should be
1
220 Hz
2
330 Hz
3
440 Hz
4
660 Hz
Official Solution
Correct Option: (4)
Step 1: Let first frequency = , last frequency = . With 56 forks, there are 55 intervals. Each interval gives 6 beats, so frequency increases by 6 Hz each step. Step 2: Hz. Last frequency = Hz.
