$A$ resonance tube is old and has a jagged end. It is still used in the laboratory to determine the velocity of sound in air. $A$ tuning fork of frequency $512\,Hz$ produces the first resonance when the tube is filled with water to a mark $11\,cm$ below a reference mark,near the open end of the tube. The experiment is repeated with another fork of frequency $256\,Hz$,which produces the first resonance when water reaches a mark $27\,cm$ below the reference mark. The velocity of sound in air,obtained in the experiment,is close to .... $ms^{-1}$

  • A
    $322$
  • B
    $341$
  • C
    $335$
  • D
