The correct answer is: 160
Given, v=320 m s-1, l=1 m

For an organ pipe whose one end is closed, only odd harmonics containing odd multiples of fundamental frequency are present.

Resonate frequency of the first mode, n1=v4l

Second mode, n2=3n1,

Third mode, n3=5n1,

Fourth mode, n4=7n1,

Fifth mode, n5=9n1

So, n1=3204=80 Hz

n2=3×80=240 Hz

n3=5×80=400 Hz

n4=7×80=560 Hz

n5=9×80=720 Hz

So 160 Hz  is not possible
