The correct answer is:
\( 80 \mathrm{~m} \)
We are given an equation of stationary wave,
.
Comparing it with the general equation of stationary wave,
.
We get,
.
As the possible wavelength associated with the harmonics of a vibrating string fixed at both ends is given as,
.
Now, according to the question, string is vibrating in the harmonic, so,
[using equation ]
Now,
.
