The correct answer is:
7
Fundamental frequency of closed pipe, $\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{c}}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{4 \mathrm{~L}}$ Fundamental frequency of open pipe, $\mathrm{n}_0=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{2 \mathrm{~L}}$ They produce 2 beats per second
$\begin{aligned} & \therefore \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{o}}-\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{c}}=2, \\ & \frac{\mathrm{V}}{2 \mathrm{~L}}-\frac{\mathrm{V}}{4 \mathrm{~L}}=2 \\ & \frac{\mathrm{V}}{4 \mathrm{~L}}=2 \text { or } \frac{\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{L}}=8\end{aligned}$
When length of open pipe is halved
$\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{o}}^{\prime}=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{2\left(\frac{\mathrm{L}}{2}\right)}=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{L}}$
When length of closed pipe is doubled
$\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{c}}^{\prime}=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{4 \times 2 \mathrm{~L}}=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{8 \mathrm{~L}}$
New beat frequency $=\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{o}}^{\prime}-\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{c}}^{\prime}=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{L}}-\frac{\mathrm{v}}{8 \mathrm{~L}}=\frac{7 \mathrm{v}}{8 \mathrm{~L}}=\frac{7}{8} \times 8=7$
$\begin{aligned} & \therefore \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{o}}-\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{c}}=2, \\ & \frac{\mathrm{V}}{2 \mathrm{~L}}-\frac{\mathrm{V}}{4 \mathrm{~L}}=2 \\ & \frac{\mathrm{V}}{4 \mathrm{~L}}=2 \text { or } \frac{\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{L}}=8\end{aligned}$
When length of open pipe is halved
$\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{o}}^{\prime}=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{2\left(\frac{\mathrm{L}}{2}\right)}=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{L}}$
When length of closed pipe is doubled
$\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{c}}^{\prime}=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{4 \times 2 \mathrm{~L}}=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{8 \mathrm{~L}}$
New beat frequency $=\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{o}}^{\prime}-\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{c}}^{\prime}=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{L}}-\frac{\mathrm{v}}{8 \mathrm{~L}}=\frac{7 \mathrm{v}}{8 \mathrm{~L}}=\frac{7}{8} \times 8=7$
