An auditorium has a volume of $10^5 \ m^3$ and a surface area of absorption of $2 \times 10^4 \ m^2$. Its average absorption coefficient is $0.2$. The reverberation time of the auditorium in seconds is:

$A$ wire of linear mass density $\mu = 9.8 \times 10^{-3} \, kg \, m^{-1}$ passes over a frictionless light pulley fixed on the top of a frictionless inclined plane which makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. Masses $m$ and $M$ are tied at the two ends of the wire such that $m$ rests on the plane and $M$ hangs freely vertically downwards. The entire system is in equilibrium and a transverse wave propagates along the wire with a velocity of $100 \, m \, s^{-1}$. Choose the correct option for $m$ in $kg$.

The ratio of intensities between two coherent sound sources is $4:1$. The difference of loudness in $dB$ between maximum and minimum intensities when they interfere in the space is ..........

$Assertion :$ Transverse waves are produced in a very long string fixed at one end. Only a progressive wave is observed near the free end.
$Reason :$ Energy of the reflected wave does not reach the free end.

$Assertion :$ The pitch of wind instruments rises and that of string instruments falls as an orchestra warms up.
$Reason :$ When temperature rises,the speed of sound increases,but the speed of a wave in a string fixed at both ends decreases.

An air column in a tube $32 \,cm$ long, closed at one end, is in resonance with a tuning fork. The air column in another tube, open at both ends, of length $66 \,cm$ is in resonance with another tuning fork. When these two tuning forks are sounded together, they produce $8$ beats per second. Then the frequencies of the two tuning forks are (Consider fundamental frequencies only):
