$A$ vibrating string of length $\ell$ under a tension $T$ resonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length $75 \,cm$ inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates $4$ beats per second when excited along with a tuning fork of frequency $n$. Now, when the tension of the string is slightly increased, the number of beats reduces to $2$ per second. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to be $340 \,m/s$, the frequency $n$ of the tuning fork in $Hz$ is:
