detailed solution

Correct option is B

For wire if M = mass, ρ = density, A = Area of cross section V = volume, l = length, Δl = change in length Then mass per unit length m=Ml=Alρl=AρAnd Young’s modules of elasticity y=T/AΔl/l⇒T=YΔlAl. Hence lowest frequency of vibration   n=12lTm=12lyΔllAAρ=12lyΔllρ⇒n=12×19×1010×4.9×10−41×9×103=35Hz
