    $\frac{a+b}{a b}$
  • B
    $\frac{\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}}{a b}$
  • C
    $\frac{\sqrt{a} \pm \sqrt{b}}{a b}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{a+b}{a b}}$

Sound waves are passing through two routes—one in a straight path and the other along a semicircular path of radius $r$—and are again combined into one pipe and superposed as shown in the figure. If the velocity of sound waves in the pipe is $v$, then frequencies of resultant waves of maximum amplitude will be integral multiples of
