Three strings of the same of the same le...

Three strings of the same of the same length are subjected to equal tension, but are found to give notes with a frequency ratio 2:3:4. The tensions of the first two are altered equally until the first is in tune with the third. How much the length of the second be altered to make it in tune with the third?
