Two identical piano wires, kept under the same tension $T$ have a fundamental frequency of $600\, Hz$. The fractional increase in the tension of one of the wires which will lead to occurrence of $6\, beats/s$ when both the wires oscillate together would be

Two trains $A$ and $B$ initially $120\, km$ apart, start moving towards each other on the same track with a velocity of $60\, km/hr$ each. At the moment of start $A$ blows a whistle, which reflects on $B$ and subsequently reflects from $A$ and so on. Take the velocity of sound waves in air $1200\, km/hr$. The distance travelled by sound waves before the trains crash will be (in $km$)
