    Three sound waves of equal amplitudes have
    frequencies (n - 1), n, (n + 1). They superimpose
    to give beats. The number of beats produced per
    second will be :-
    (1) 3
    (2) 2
    (3) 1
    (4) 4
    digAnsr:   2
    Ans : (2)
    Sol. n-1 n n+1

    1 1
    Now divide 1 second into 1, 1, 2 equal divisions

    By eliminating common time instants, total maxima
    in one second is 2.
    So, two beats per second will be heard.
