Answer

(a) $320Hz$ tuning fork (b) $317Hz$ (c) $324.5Hz$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that the frequency of the other tuning fork is lower because it satisfies the second beat frequency condition. The $320Hz$ tuning fork has the lower frequency. (b) The final frequency of the $320Hz$ tuning fork is given as $320Hz-3Hz=317Hz$ (c) The frequency of the other tuning fork is given as $320Hz+4.5Hz=324.5Hz$
