A closed organ and an open organ tube are filled by two different gases having same bulk modulus but different densities ρ1\rho_1 and ρ2\rho_2 , respectively. The frequency of 9th 9^{\text {th }} harmonic of closed tube is identical with 4th 4^{\text {th }} harmonic of open tube. If the length of the closed tube is 10 cm and the density ratio of the gases is ρ1:ρ2=1:16\rho_1: \rho_2=1: 16 , then the length of the open tube is :

Multiple Choice Options
