The fundamental frequency of an air column in pipe $A$ closed at one end is in unison with the second overtone of an air column in pipe $B$ open at both ends. The ratio of the length of the air column in pipe $A$ to that of the air column in pipe $B$ is:

  • A
    $1: 6$
  • B
    $3: 8$
  • C
    $2: 3$
  • D
    $3: 4$

$A$ closed organ pipe of length $L$ and an open organ pipe of length $L'$ contain gases of densities $\rho_{1}$ and $\rho_{2}$ respectively. The compressibility of the gases is equal in both pipes. Both pipes are vibrating in their first overtone with the same frequency. The length of the open pipe is $L' = \frac{x}{3} L \sqrt{\frac{\rho_{1}}{\rho_{2}}}$,where $x$ is ......... .
