Two sitar strings \(A\) and \(B\) playing the note 'Dha' are slightly out of tune and produce beats of frequency \(5~\text{Hz}.\) The tension of the string \(B\) is slightly increased and the beat frequency is found to decrease by \(3~\text{Hz}.\) If the frequency of \(A\) is \(425~\text{Hz},\) then the original frequency of \(B\) is:
1. \(428~\text{Hz}\)
2. \(430~\text{Hz}\)
3. \(422~\text{Hz}\)
4. \(420~\text{Hz}\)

A set of \(20\) tuning forks is arranged in a series of increasing frequencies. If each fork gives \(4\) beats with respect to the preceding fork and the frequency of the last fork is twice the frequency of the first, then the frequency of the last fork is:
1. \(152~\text{Hz}\)
2. \(234~\text{Hz}\)
3. \(134~\text{Hz}\)
4. \(144~\text{Hz}\)
