Answer

L – Q, M – R, N – P

Reason — The frequency of a tuning fork is inversely proportional to the square of the length of its prongs i.e., f1l2f \propto \dfrac{1}{l^2}
So, tunning fork L has highest frequency, N has lowest frequency and M has medium frequency

Frequency is inversely proportional to the length of the air column i.e., f1lf \propto \dfrac{1}{l}
So, air column Q has highest frequency, P has lowest frequency and R has medium frequency

Highest frequency tuning fork (L) should match with the highest frequency air column (Q).
So, L-Q combination will resonate.

Medium frequency tuning fork (M) should match with the medium frequency air column (R).
So, M-R combination will resonate.

Lowest frequency tuning fork (N) should match with the lowest frequency air column (P).
So, N-P combination will resonate.
