.

The length of a violin string  DOES  NOT  DEPENDS  on frequency of its vibration.

It is a constant value,  constant for each specific type of violin.

The problem is worded / posed  INCORRECTLY  ( TERRIBLY )  in your post.

Another example of people composing math problems who don't know what they're talking about.
---------------------
Replacing the strings on my guitar, I find one is broken and is too short.
I'll change its frequency to make it longer.
------------
See how that works?
Cause and effect are reversed.
