The correct answer is: $2.5 \mathrm{~Hz}$
Let h be the depth of bottle in water then
$\mathrm{A} h \rho g=m g$ or $h=\frac{m}{A \rho}=\frac{200}{50 \times 1}=4 \mathrm{~cm}$.
Now time period,
$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{h}{g}}$ or $v=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{h}}$
$=\frac{7}{2 \times 22} \sqrt{\frac{980}{4}}=2.5 \mathrm{~Hz}$
