The correct answer is: $20 \mathrm{~cm}$
We have
$\left(\mathrm{f}_2\right)_{\text {Open }}=\left(\mathrm{f}_2\right)_{\text {Closed }}$
$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow 2 \cdot \frac{\mathrm{V}}{2 l_0}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{4 l_{\mathrm{C}}} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{1}{80}=\frac{1}{4 l_{\mathrm{C}}} \quad\left[\because l_0=80 \mathrm{~cm}\right] \\ & \Rightarrow l_{\mathrm{C}}=20 \mathrm{~cm}\end{aligned}$
