Answer:
The new force becomes 4 times the initial force.
Explanation:
The force of attraction or repulsion is given by the relation as follows :

Where
d is the distance between the interacting charges
F is inversely proportional to the distance between charges.
If the distance is halved, d'=(d/2), new force is given by :

So, the new force becomes 4 times the initial force.
-- In combination with 610 Hz, the beat frequency is 4 Hz.
So the unknown frequency is either (610+4) = 614 Hz
or else (610-4) = 606 Hz.
In combination with 605 Hz, the beat frequency will be
either (614-605) = 9 Hz or else (606-605) = 1 Hz.
-- In actuality, when combined with the 605 Hz, the beat
frequency is too high to count accurately. That must be
the 9 Hz rather than the 1 Hz.
So the unknown is (605+9) = 614 Hz.
