The correct answer is: 5f4

Consider the length of the tube be L

The fundamental frequency for the open organ pipe is,

f=V2 L

The figure below represents the 60 % of tube is dipped
vertically in water.

The length of the closed organ pipe is,

l'=40100 L

l'=2 L5

The fundamental frequency of air column is,

f'=V4l'

Substitute the values in the above equation.

f'=V4 2 L5

f'=54V2 L

f'=54f
