For production of beats the two sources must have

1. different frequencies and same amplitude
2. different frequencies
3. different frequencies, same amplitude and same phase
4. different frequencies and same phase

Correct answer: different frequencies

Solution

Beats are produced when two sound waves of slightly different frequencies interfere. The amplitude and phase do not necessarily need to be the same for beats to occur.
