The correct answer is:
$1: 1$
In Melde's experiment, the variation in frequency is created if the tension is increased in the string.
Melde's showed that mechanical waves also undergo phenomenon of interference. To do this a resonance in tuning fork and frequency of standing waves was developed.
Hence, the frequency of the tuning fork and the frequency of the waves in the string are in the ratio $1: 1$.
