Two sound waves of wavelengths $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ $(\lambda_2 > \lambda_1)$ produce $n$ beats per second. The speed of sound is:

  • A
    $\frac{n\lambda_1\lambda_2}{\lambda_2 - \lambda_1}$
  • B
    $n\left( \frac{1}{\lambda_1} - \frac{1}{\lambda_2} \right)$
  • C
    $n(\lambda_2 - \lambda_1)$
  • D
    $n(\lambda_2 + \lambda_1)$
