The correct answer is: $\frac{0.25}{\mathrm{t}}$
In fundamental mode the length of the closed tube is $\frac{\lambda}{4}$
Time required to travel a distance $\frac{\lambda}{4}$ is $\mathrm{t}$.
Hence time required to travel a distance $\lambda$ will be $4 \mathrm{t}$.
$\therefore$ Time period $\mathrm{T}=4 \mathrm{t}$
Frequency, $\mathrm{n}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{~T}}=\frac{1}{4 \mathrm{t}}=\frac{0.25}{\mathrm{t}}$
