Dear student
let the frequecy be = n
then the possible frequency of sonometer wire are = n + 5, n –5
n + 5 = (1/40) * sqrt (T/m),
n –5 =  (1/42) * sqrt (T/m)
Hence
n + 5/ n –5 = 21/ 20
20 n + 100 = 21 n – 105
n = 205 Hz

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to your problem.

Let the frequecy be = n
then the possible frequency of sonometer wire are = n + 5, n –5
n + 5 = (1/40) * sqrt (T/m),
n –5 = (1/42) * sqrt (T/m)
Hence n + 5/ n –5 = 21/ 20
20 n + 100 = 21 n – 105
n = 205 Hz
Thanks and Regards
