(c) A wave travelling in positive $x-$direction may be represented as

$y = A\sin \frac{{2\pi }}{\lambda }\,(v\,t - x)$.

On putting values $y = 0.2\sin \frac{{2\pi }}{{60}}(360\,t - x)$

$\Rightarrow$ $y = 0.2\sin 2\pi \,\left( {6\,t - \frac{x}{{60}}} \right)$

    A person blows into open-end of a long pipe. As a result, a high-pressure pulse of air travels down the pipe. When this pulse reaches the other end of the pipe.

    $(A)$ a high-pressure pulse starts traveling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is open.

    $(B)$ a low-pressure pulse starts traveling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is open.

    $(C)$ a low-pressure pulse starts traveling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is closed.

    $(D)$ a high-pressure pulse starts traveling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is closed.
