Answer

Pipe B has one open end.

Work Step by Step

Note that $~~1.4 = \frac{7}{5}$ We can write an expression for the frequencies in a pipe that is open at one end: $f = \frac{nv}{4L},~~$ where $~~n = 1,3,5,...$ Therefore, the two frequencies must be the fifth and seventh harmonics of a pipe with one open end. Pipe B has one open end.
