An open pipe is in resonance in its 2nd harmonic with tuning fork of frequency\[{{f}_{1}}\]. Now it is closed at one end. If the frequency of the tuning fork is increased slowly from \[{{f}_{1}}\] then again a resonance is obtained with a frequency\[{{f}_{2}}\]. If in this case the pipe vibrates \[{{n}^{th}}\] harmonics then        [IIT-JEE (Screening) 2005]

A.            \[n=3,\] \[{{f}_{2}}=\frac{3}{4}{{f}_{1}}\]                    
B.            \[n=3,\] \[{{f}_{2}}=\frac{5}{4}{{f}_{1}}\]
C.            \[n=5,\] \[{{f}_{2}}=\frac{5}{4}{{f}_{1}}\]                    
D.            \[n=5,\] \[{{f}_{2}}=\frac{3}{4}{{f}_{1}}\]
Answer» D.            \[n=5,\] \[{{f}_{2}}=\frac{3}{4}{{f}_{1}}\]

The resistance of a wire of iron is 10 ohms and temp. coefficient of resistivity is \[5\times {{10}^{-3}}/{}^\circ C\]. At \[20{}^\circ C\] it carries 30 milliamperes of current. Keeping constant potential difference between its ends, the temperature of the wire is raised to \[120{}^\circ C\]. The current in milliamperes that flows in the wire is [MP PMT 1994]
