The wavelengths of two sound notes in air are $\frac{40}{195} \,m$ and $\frac{40}{193} \,m$. Each note produces $9$ beats per second separately with a third note of fixed frequency. The velocity of sound in air in $m/s$ is

$A$ vibrating tuning fork of frequency $n$ is placed near the open end of a long cylindrical tube. The tube has a side opening and is fitted with a movable reflecting piston. As the piston is moved through $8.75 \, cm$,the intensity of sound changes from a maximum to a minimum. If the speed of sound is $350 \, m/s$,then $n$ is .... $Hz$.
