The correct answer is: $\frac{\omega}{2 \sqrt{2}}$
$\because$ Angular frequency at resonance,
$\omega=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mathrm{LC}}}$ ...(i)
According to question, when inductor's inductance is made 2 times and capacitance is 4 times, then
$\omega^{\prime}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mathrm{LC}}}$
or $\quad \omega^{\prime}=\left(\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}}\right) \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mathrm{LC}}}$
$=\frac{\omega}{2 \sqrt{2}} \quad$ [From Eq. (i)]
