Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
A

n A = ?, n B = Known frequency = 320 Hz

x = 4 bps, which remains same after filing.

Unknown fork A is filed so n A

Hence n A – n B = x Wrong

n B – n A = x Correct

⇒ ⇒ n A = n B – x = 320 – 4 = 316 Hz.

This is the frequency before filing.

But in question frequency after filing is asked which must be greater than 316 Hz, such that it produces 4 beats per sec. Hence it is 324 Hz.
