Two pipes are each 50cm in length. One of them is closed at one end while other is open at both ends. The speed of sound in air is 340ms−1. The frequency at which both the pipes can resonate is:

Solution
The correct option is D None of these A pipe open only at one end and another one of equal length but open at both the ends have their fundamental frequencies vand2vυand2υrespectively. Again only odd harmonics are possible for a pipe open at one end whereas all second harmonics are possible for a pipe open at both ends. Thus, it is impossible to have a common frequency at which they can resonate.
