A source of unknown frequency gives 4 beats / s, when sounded with a source of known frequency 250 Hz, the second harmonic of the source of unknown frequency gives five beats per second, when sounded with a source of frequency 513 Hz, the unknown is
A source of unknown frequency gives 4 beats / s, when sounded with a source of known frequency 250 Hz, the second harmonic of the source of unknown frequency gives five beats per second, when sounded with a source of frequency 513 Hz, the unknown is

Option A 260 Hz
Option B 254 Hz
Option C 246 Hz
Option D 240 Hz

Solution: Correct Option B

unknown source frequency f= 246 Hz or 254 Hz
492 Hz or 508 Hz is the source’s second harmonic.
When listened at a frequency of 513 Hz, it produces 5 beats per second, hence unknown frequency = 254 Hz.
