Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

According to the property of persistence of hearing, the impression of a sound heard persists on our mind for $ \frac{1}{10} $ sec.

Therefore, number of beats per sec should be less than 10.

Hence difference in frequencies of two sources must be less than 10.
