For air at room temperature, the atmospheric pressure is $1.0 \times 10^{5} \text{ Nm}^{-2}$ and the density of air is $1.2 \text{ kgm}^{-3}$. For a tube of length $1.0 \text{ m}$, closed at one end, the lowest frequency generated is $84 \text{ Hz}$. The value of $\gamma$ (ratio of two specific heats) for air is:

  • A
    $2.1$
  • B
    $1.5$
  • C
    $1.8$
  • D
    $1.4$
