The correct answer is:
$55 \mathrm{~Hz}$
Frequency of first mode of vibration
$$
n_1=\frac{3 v}{4 /}
$$
(closed pipe) and frequency of first mode of vibration
$$
n_2=\frac{v}{2 l}
$$
(open pipe)
According to the question,
$$
n_1-n_2=\frac{3 v}{4 l}-\frac{v}{2 l}=55
$$
So $\quad \frac{3 v-2 v}{4 !}=55$
$$
\Rightarrow \quad \frac{v}{4 l}=55 \mathrm{~Hz}
$$
$$
n_1=\frac{3 v}{4 /}
$$
(closed pipe) and frequency of first mode of vibration
$$
n_2=\frac{v}{2 l}
$$
(open pipe)
According to the question,
$$
n_1-n_2=\frac{3 v}{4 l}-\frac{v}{2 l}=55
$$
So $\quad \frac{3 v-2 v}{4 !}=55$
$$
\Rightarrow \quad \frac{v}{4 l}=55 \mathrm{~Hz}
$$
