When two tuning forks $A$ and $B$ are sounded together, $4$ beats per second are heard. The frequency of the fork $B$ is $384 \,Hz$. When one of the prongs of the fork $A$ is filed and sounded with $B$, the beat frequency increases. Then the frequency of the fork $A$ is: (in $\,Hz$)

  • A
    $380$
  • B
    $388$
  • C
    $379$

Two tuning forks $X$ and $Y$ have frequencies $280 \,Hz$ and $284 \,Hz$. $A$ third tuning fork $Z$ has an unknown frequency. When $X$ and $Z$ are sounded together, a certain number of beats per second are heard. When $Y$ and $Z$ are sounded together, the beat frequency is found to be three times as great. The frequency of $Z$ is: (in $\,Hz$)
