Detailed Solution

Critical hearing frequency for a person is 20,000Hz.
If a closed pipe vibration in Nth mode then frequency of vibrationn=(2N1)v4l=(2N1)n1
(where n1 = fundamental frequency of vibration) 
Hence 20,000 =(2N1)×1500N=7.17
Also, in closed pipe 
Number of over tones = (No. of mode of vibration) –1 = 7 – 1 = 6.
