\mu =\frac{6}{12}=0.5

using V=\frac{T}{\mu}

At a distance x from the bottom 

V=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}= \sqrt{\frac{(2g+\mu xg)}{\mu}}=\sqrt{\frac{20+5x}{0.5}}

at x=0, V_1=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}=\sqrt{\frac{20}{0.5}}=\sqrt{40}

and \lambda _1=6 \ cm

f=\frac{V_1}{\lambda _1}=\frac{\sqrt{40}}{6}

Now at x=12 cm

V_0=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}= \sqrt{\frac{(2g+\mu xg)}{\mu}}=\sqrt{\frac{20+5x}{0.5}}=\sqrt{\frac{20+(5*12)}{0.5}}=\sqrt{\frac{80}{0.5}}\\ \Rightarrow V_0=2\sqrt{40}

So, \lambda _0=\frac{V_0}{f}=\frac{2\sqrt{40}}{\frac{\sqrt{40}}{6}}=12 cm
