$A$ wave is travelling along a string. At an instant,the shape of the string is as shown in the figure. At this instant,point $A$ is moving upward. Then:
$(a)$ The wave is travelling to the left.
$(b)$ At this instant,$C$ is moving downward.
$(c)$ The amplitude of the wave is greater than the displacement of point $B$ at this instant.
$(d)$ The phase at $A$ is less than the phase at $C$.

$A$ stretched uniform wire of length $L$ under tension $T$ is vibrating with fundamental frequency $n$. $A$ closed pipe of the same length $L$ is also vibrating with the same fundamental frequency $n$. If the tension $T$ is increased by $16 \,N$, the wire resonates with the $2^{\text{nd}}$ harmonic of the same closed pipe. The initial tension in the wire is: (in $\,N$)
