Correct Option - 4
Detailed Solution:A pipe open only at one end and another one of equal length but open at both the ends have their fundamental frequencies v and 2v respectively. Again only odd harmonics are possible for a pipe open at one end whereas all second harmonics are possible for a pipe open at both ends. Thus, it is impossible to have a common frequency at which they can resonate.
