27. Two tuning forks A and B are of nearly equal frequencies. The frequency of A is 288 Hz. When
the two tuning forks are used to obtain the Lissajous Figures, the complete cycles of changes
takes place in 20 seconds. When the tuning fork B is loaded with a little wax, the time taken
for one cycle of change is 10 seconds. Calculate the original frequency of B.
