Detailed Solution

For a string fixed at both ends, the resonant frequencies arevn=nv2L where n=1,2,3,…..The difference between two consecutive resonant frequencies isΔvn=vn+1-vn=(n+1)v2L-nv2L=v2Lwhich is also the lowest resonant frequency (n=1)Thus the lowest resonant frequency for the given string=420 Hz -315 Hz = 105 Hz
