Solution

The correct option is B
(i) - II; (ii) - II; (iii) - I; (iv) - I

One thing we know about SHM is that the force (F $α$ - x) in case of a simple spring this becomes F = -kx as we also know that F = ma. We can get a = - x. let's make an observation of sign of a and x. when x $>$ 0, we get a $<$ 0 and when x $<$ 0 we get a $>$ 0. So whenever acceleration is negative the position is positive and vice versa. We don't even need to know the direction of velocity for that! So very simply if we analyze the options only (b) would be the correct one.

Q. A bob attached to a compressed spring executes _____ motion.

A block of mass m, when attached to a uniform ideal spring with force constant k and free length L executes SHM. The spring is then cut in two pieces, one with free length nL and other with free length (1-n)L. The block is also divided in the same fraction. The smaller part of the block attached to longer part of the spring executes SHM with frequency $f_{1}$ . The bigger part of the block attached to smaller part of the spring executes SHM with frequency $f_{2}$ . The ratio $\frac{f_{1}}{f_{2}}$ is
