The correct answer is: 294

The formula to calculate the fundamental frequency in a closed pipe is given by

fc=v4l1   ...1

And, that in an open pipe is given by

fo=v2l2   ...2

Given that

fc-fo=7   ...3

From equations (1), (2) and (3), it follows that

v4×150-v2×350=7v600 cm-v700 cm=7v6m-v7m=7v142=7v=42×7=294 m s-1
