An observer receives waves directly from a source of sound distant $120\,m$ in a big hall. He also receives waves reflected from the mid-point of a $25\,m$ high ceiling. The wavelength of sound for constructive interference to take place between the two waves must be:

Out of the given four waves $(1), (2), (3)$ and $(4)$:
