Answer

Pipe A has two open ends.

Work Step by Step

Note that $~~1.2 = \frac{6}{5}$ We can write an expression for the frequencies in a pipe that is open at both ends: $f = \frac{nv}{2L},~~$ where $~~n = 1,2,3,...$ Therefore, the two frequencies must be the fifth and sixth harmonics of a pipe with two open ends. Pipe A has two open ends.
