Frequency:

        \frac{\nu}{4l} = \frac{\nu}{4 * 20} = \frac{\nu}{80}

If L is the length of the organ pipe open at both ends, the frequency of the fundamental tone = \frac{\nu}{2l}; then the frequency of the second overtone, the third harmonic = 3 \cdot \frac{\nu}{2l}

According to the question,

\frac{\nu}{80} = 3 \cdot \frac{\nu}{2l} \implies l = \frac{3}{2} * 80 = 120 cm
