As we learnt in 

Beat Frequency -

\Delta \nu = \left | \nu _{1}-\nu _{2} \right |

module of \left ( \nu _{1} -\nu _{2}\right )

 

- wherein

Where \nu _{1} \: and\: \nu _{2} are frequency of two wave differ slightly  in value of frequency.

 

Let frequency of first fork is \nu. Frequency of forks are

\nu+4,\:\nu+8,\:\nu+12--------------\:+\nu+4\times 55

According to Question

\nu+220\:=\:3\nu\:=>\nu=110\:Hz
