Two uniform strings `A and B` made of steel are made to vibrate under the same tension. If the first overtone of `A` is equal to the second overtone of `B` and if the radius of `A` is twice that of `B`, the ratio of the lengths of the strings isA. `2 : 1`B. `3 : 2`C. `3 : 4`D. `1 : 3`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
According to equation
`2 n_(1) = 3n_(2)`
or `(2)/( 2l_(1)) sqrt((T)/(m_(1))) = (3)/( 2 l_(2)) sqrt((T)/(m_(2)))`
or `(l_(1))/(l_(2)) = (2)/(3) sqrt((m_(2))/(m_(1))) = (2)/(3) sqrt(( a_(2) rho)/( a_(1) rho))`
or `(l_(1))/(l_(2)) = (2)/(3) sqrt((r_(r)^(2))/(r_(1)^(2))) = (2)/(3) sqrt(((1)/(2))^(2)`
or `(l_(1))/(l_(2)) = (1)/(3)`
