$A$ tuning fork $A$ produces $5$ beats per second with a tuning fork of frequency $480 \ Hz$. When a little wax is stuck to a prong of fork $A$,the number of beats heard per second becomes $2$. What is the frequency of tuning fork $A$ before the wax is stuck to it (in $Hz$)?

  • A
    $485$
  • B
    $478$
  • C
    $475$
  • D
