A vibrating string of certain length $l$ under a tension $T$ reasonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length $75$ $cm$ inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates $4$ beats per second when excited along with a tuning fork of frequency $n$. Now when the tension of the string is slightly increased the number of beats reduces to $2$ per second. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to be $340$ $m/s$, the frequency $n$ of the tuning fork in $Hz $ is

The given diagram shows three light pieces of paper placed on a wire that is stretched over two supports, $Q$ and $R$ , a distance $4x$ apart. When the wire is made to vibrate at a particular frequency, all the pieces of paper, except the middle one, fall off the wire. Which of the following could be the wavelength of the vibration?
