144 Ans.The question tells you distance between two adjacent nodes. This means it tells you the distance between the two nodes which are vibrating consecutive harmonious. So find a general term for distance between nth harmonic and n+1th harmonic in terms of length of string and wavelength. Make two equations and get the answer.
