$A$ tuning fork of frequency $n$ produces $x$ beats per second when sounded with a vibrating sonometer string. What must have been the frequency of the string, when a slight increase in tension produces lesser beats per second than before?

  • A
    $n + x$
  • B
    $n - x$
  • C
    $(n + x)^2$
  • D
    $(n - x)^2$
