    The correct answer to the question is

    448 m/s

    Explanation:

    The fundamental frequency is the lowest resonant frequency of a vibration. The nature of a standing wave in a tube with one end closed which is at the the fundamental frequency is to have the node of the wave at the closed end and the wave anti-node at the opened end making a quarter of the wavelength.

    Therefore the length of the gas column, 1.40 m = λ/4

    So that λ = 4 * 1.4 = 5.6 m

    Therefore from v = fλ

    Where

    f = frequency = 80. o Hz

    v = wave speed

    we have the wave speed v = 5.6*80 = 448 m/s
