    Answer: A. Greater than 384 Hz

    Explanation:

    The velocity of sound is directly related to the temperature rather it is directly proportional meaning if the temperature decreases the velocity decreases and if temperature increases the velocity increases.

    Now, we are given that temperature has risen from 20°C to 25°C meaning it has increases. So it implies that velocity must also increase.

    Also, the velocity for organ pipe is directly proportional to its frequency. Now if velocity increases frequency must also increase. In this case, the original frequency is 384 Hz. Now increasing the temperature resulted in increase in velocity and thus increase in frequency.

    So option a is correct. i. e. now frequency will be greater than 384 Hz.
