A tuning fork is used to produce resonance in a glass tube. The length of the air column in this tube can be adjusted by a variable piston. At room temperature of $27\,^o C$ two successive resonances are produced at $20\, cm$ and $73\, cm$ of column length. If the frequency of the tuning fork is $320\, Hz,$ the velocity of sound in air at $27\,^o C$ is .... $m/s$
  • A$330$
  • B$339$
  • C$300$
  • D$350$
