In a guitar, two strings A and B made of same material are slightly out of tune and produce beats of frequency 6 Hz. When tension in B is slightly decreased, the beat frequency increases to 7 Hz. If the frequency of A is 530 Hz, the original frequency of B will be:

A tuning fork is used to produce resonance in a glass tube. The length of the air column in this tube can be adjusted by a variable piston. At room temperature of 27°C, two successive resonances are produced at $20$ $ \mathrm{cm}$ and $73$ $\mathrm{cm}$ of column length. If the frequency of the tuning fork is $320$ $ \mathrm{Hz}$, the velocity of sound in air at 27°C is,
