As we learned

frequency of organ pipe = 255HZ or 257H2

In third normal mode

\nu = \frac{3}{2l}\cdot V = \frac{3\times 340}{2l} = \frac{510}{l}

If \nu = 255Hz \Rightarrow l = 200cm

If \nu = 257Hz \Rightarrow l = 198.4cm

l=200cm


Option 1)

220 cm

Option 2)

190 cm

Option 3)

180 cm

Option 4)

200 cm
