Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`(n-1)` and `(n+1)` are supposed to form frequency n and n will be at resonance
`n - 1` and `nrarr` produce 1 beat
`n + 1` and `nrarr` produce 1 beat
Number of beats formed are .2..
Aliter:
Maximum number of beats formed `(n + 1) - (n - 1) = 2`.
