Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

fundamental frequency

       


L=λ4v1=v4L


       


L = λ 2 + λ 4 = 3 λ 4

v2=3v4L

∴   v=oddv4L

Now L = 8 5 cm = 0.85 m

        v=340m/s

          = odd 3 4 0 4 × 0.85

         =odd×100 Hz

Hence possible frequencies below 1250 Hz are

100 Hz, 300 Hz, 500 Hz...........1100 Hz

Hence 6
