An auditorium has a volume of $10^5 \ m^3$ and a surface area of absorption of $2 \times 10^4 \ m^2$. Its average absorption coefficient is $0.2$. The reverberation time of the auditorium in seconds is:

Column $I$ shows four systems,each of the same length $L$,for producing standing waves. The lowest possible natural frequency of a system is called its fundamental frequency,whose wavelength is denoted as $\lambda_{f}$. Match each system with statements given in Column $II$ describing the nature and wavelength of the standing waves.
Column $I$:
$(A)$ Pipe closed at one end
$(B)$ Pipe open at both ends
