Solution

The correct option is B 200Hz
Let L be the length of pipe.
frequency of first overtone, when the pipe is open ,
n2=v/L ,
frequency of second overtone , when the pipe is closed ,
n3=5v/4L ,
given , n2+100=n3 ,
or v/L+100=5v/4L ,
or v/4l=100 ,
or l=v/400 ,
therefore fundamental frequency of open pipe will be ,
n1=v/2L=v2v/400=200Hz
