Solution

The correct option is D 200 Hz
The frequency of mth harmonic in an open organ pipe,
vm=mv2l

Fundamnetal frequency for open organ pipe, m=1
v1=v2l

The frequency of nth harmonic in a closed organ pipe,
vn=nv4l

The second overtone of the closed pipe is observed to be higher in frequency by 100 Hz than the fundamental of the original pipe.
3v4lv2l=100 Hz
vl=400 Hz

Fundamental frequency for open organ pipe,
v1=v2l
v1=400 Hz2
v1=200 Hz

Final Answer : (d)
