can anybody please help me in this. Thanks in Advance

You shouldn't run sudo apt-get -f install unless you get messages about missing dependencies or broken installations. This command is not part of a normal installation procedure. — Stormlord, Aug 02 '16 at 15:27
audacity is in universe repository. You don't need to add a PPA for that. And add PPA only you are aware of the risk — Anwar, Aug 03 '16 at 04:43

Is there a reason you are not using the Ubuntu main repo? If not:

sudo apt-get install audacity

I can't believe this isn't written down on the audacity page. It's so simple and functional. – sarki_roka Apr 08 '20 at 20:34
