Explanation:

A) 7th Harmonic. (Of an open ended pipe, odd harmonics are allowed (3rd overtone))

b) f = n v / 4 L

n = 7

f = 7 x 350 / 4 x 0.41 = 1493.9 Hz

c) Let level of water H, If reduces the effective length of pipe

Using, f = n v / 4 Leff

n = 1

251.8 = 1 x 350 / 4 (0.41 - H)

H = 0.0625m

H = 6.25 cm
