Question

Select One Option Correct from the following : A block B is attached to two unstretched springs $S_1$ and $S_2$ with spring constants k and 4k, respectively (see figure I). The other ends are attached to identical supports $M_1$ and $M_2$, not attached to the walls. The springs and supports have negligible mass. There is no friction anywhere. The block B is displaced towards wall 1 by a small distance x (see figure II) and released. The block returns and moves a maximum distance y towards wall Displacements x and y are measured with respect to the equilibrium position of the block B. The ratio y/x is
(A) 4
(B) 2
(C) 1/2
(D) 1/4

Answer 1

b option is correct I think
