Problem

Three tuning forks P, Q and R are such that P and Q sounded together give 5 beats per second, Q and R give 9 beats per second, while P and R give 4 beats per second. If the frequency of P is 256 Hz and Q is of higher pitch than P, determine the frequencies of Q and R. a) Q=251 Hz,  R=260 HzQ = 251\ \text{Hz},\; R = 260\ \text{Hz} b) Q=261 Hz,  R=260 HzQ = 261\ \text{Hz},\; R = 260\ \text{Hz} c) Q=261 Hz,  R=252 HzQ = 261\ \text{Hz},\; R = 252\ \text{Hz} d) Q=261 Hz,  R=270 HzQ = 261\ \text{Hz},\; R = 270\ \text{Hz}
