A body of mass $64 \mathrm{~g}$ is made to oscillate turn by turn on two different springs A and B. Spring $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$ has force constant $4 \frac{\mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{m}}$ and $16 \frac{\mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{m}}$ respectively. If $\mathrm{T}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{T}_{2}$ are period of oscillations of springs $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$ respectively then $\frac{\mathrm{T}_{1}+\mathrm{T}_{2}}{\mathrm{~T}_{1}-\mathrm{T}_{2}}$ will be

The correct answer is: $3: 1$
(A)
$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}} \quad \therefore \frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}}}=\sqrt{\frac{16}{4}}=\frac{2}{1}$
$=\frac{T_{1}+T_{2}}{T_{1}-T_{2}}$
