32. The following frequencies are overtones of 140Hz except

  • A. A. 760HzCorrect
  • B. B. 420Hz
  • C. C. 560Hz
  • D. D. 840Hz

Explanation

Overtones of 140Hz are whole-number multiples: 280, 420, 560, 700, 840Hz etc. 760Hz is not a whole-number multiple of 140Hz (760/140 = 5 remainder 60), so it is not an overtone of 140Hz.
