The correct answer is:
$0.3 \mathrm{~m}$
The wavelength is related to velocity and frequency of the wave by following equation:

The phase difference is given by $\phi=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} x$
$\begin{aligned} & \therefore \frac{\pi}{5}=\frac{2 \pi}{3} x \\ & \Rightarrow x=0.3 \mathrm{~m}\end{aligned}$

The phase difference is given by $\phi=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} x$
$\begin{aligned} & \therefore \frac{\pi}{5}=\frac{2 \pi}{3} x \\ & \Rightarrow x=0.3 \mathrm{~m}\end{aligned}$
