$f \propto \frac{1}{\ell_1} \Rightarrow f =\frac{ k }{\ell_1}$ $. . . . . . (1)$
$\left(\ell_1 \Rightarrow \text { initial length of pipe }\right)$
$\left(\frac{ V }{ V - V _{ T }}\right) f =\frac{ k }{\ell_2}\left\{ V _{ T }\right.$ Speed of tuning fork, $\ell_2 \rightarrow$ new length of pipe $\}$
$\text { (1) } \div(2)$
$\frac{ V - V _{ T }}{ V }=\frac{\ell_2}{\ell_1}$
$\frac{\ell_2}{\ell_1}-1=\frac{ V - V _{ T }}{ V }-1$
$\frac{\ell_2-\ell_1}{\ell_1}=\frac{- V _{ T }}{ V }$
$\frac{\ell_2-\ell_1}{\ell_1} \times 100=\frac{-2}{320} \times 100=-0.625$
Therefore smallest value of percentage change required in the length of pipe is $0.625$
