Solution

The correct option is C 24
=f=v4l=3404×0.2=3400.8=425 HZ
This is in the audible range. (20 Hz to 20000 Hz)
The next overtones are 3f, 5f . . . . which are present in the pipe
Let there be n harmonics
nf20000
n20000425=47
The nthharmonic present in the pipe is 19975. So the harmonics are 425, 1275, . . . . 19975
Number of terms in this A.P
19975=425+(n1)850=425+850n85019975+425=850n400=850nn=20400850=24

Ans: 24
