Two vibrating strings $A$ and $B$ of the same material but lengths $3 L$ and $2 L$ have radii $2 r$ and $3 r$ respectively. They are stretched under the same tension. String $A$ vibrates in the second overtone and string $B$ in the fundamental mode. The ratio of their frequencies $n_A / n_B$ will be:

  • A
    $2: 1$
  • B
    $3: 1$
  • C
    $4: 1$
  • D
    $3: 2$

Two wires $W_1$ and $W_2$ have the same radius $r$ and respective densities $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$ such that $\rho_2 = 4\rho_1$. They are joined together at the point $O$,as shown in the figure. The combination is used as a sonometer wire and kept under tension $T$. The point $O$ is midway between the two bridges. When a stationary wave is set up in the composite wire,the joint is found to be a node. The ratio of the number of antinodes formed in $W_1$ to $W_2$ is
