The frequencies of three tuning forks A, B and C are related as $\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{A}}>\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{B}}>\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{C}}$. Which the forks $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$ are sounded together, the number of beats produced per second is ' $\mathrm{n}_1$ '. When forks $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{C}$ are sounded together the number of beats produced per second is ' $\mathrm{n}_2$ '. How may beats are produced per second when forks B and $\mathrm{C}$ are sounded together?

Options:
  • A $\mathrm{n}_1-\mathrm{n}_2$
  • B $\frac{\mathrm{n}_1+\mathrm{n}_2}{2}$
  • C $\mathrm{n}_2-\mathrm{n}_1$
  • D $\mathrm{n}_1+\mathrm{n}_2$

The correct answer is: $\mathrm{n}_2-\mathrm{n}_1$
$$
\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{A}}-\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{B}}=\mathrm{n}_1
$$
$$
\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{A}}-\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{C}}=\mathrm{n}_2
$$
Subtracting Eq. (i) from eq. (ii)
$$
\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{B}}-\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{C}}=\mathrm{n}_2-\mathrm{n}_1
$$
