$A$ string of length $1 \,m$ and mass $490 \,g$ is put under a tension of $25 \,N$. $A$ wave of frequency $120 \,Hz$ is sent along it. The speed of this wave is (in $\,m/s$)

One end of a string of length $L$ is tied to the ceiling of a lift accelerating upwards with an acceleration $2g$. The other end of the string is free. The linear mass density of the string varies linearly from $0$ to $\lambda$ from bottom to top.

$A$ string of mass $m$ and length $l$ hangs from a ceiling as shown in the figure. $A$ wave in the string moves upward. $v_A$ and $v_B$ are the speeds of the wave at points $A$ and $B$ respectively. Then $v_B$ is

$Assertion :$ Two waves moving in a uniform string having uniform tension cannot have different velocities.
$Reason :$ Elastic and inertial properties of string are same for all waves in same string. Moreover,the speed of a wave in a string depends on its elastic and inertial properties only.

Two strings $(A, B)$ having linear densities $\mu_{A} = 2 \times 10^{-4} \ kg/m$ and $\mu_{B} = 4 \times 10^{-4} \ kg/m$ and lengths $L_{A} = 2.5 \ m$ and $L_{B} = 1.5 \ m$ respectively are joined. Free ends of $A$ and $B$ are tied to two rigid supports $C$ and $D$,respectively,creating a tension of $500 \ N$ in the wire. Two identical pulses,sent from $C$ and $D$ ends,take time $t_1$ and $t_2$,respectively,to reach the joint. The ratio $t_1 / t_2$ is:
