A closed and an open organ pipe have the same length. When they are vibrating simultaneously in their first overtone, they produce three beats. The length of the open pipe is now made one third the original length and one of its ends is closed. On the other hand, the length of the closed pipe is made three times the original length. The number of beats produced when they vibrate with fundamental frequencies will be
