Find the ratio of the fundamental tone ...

Find the ratio of the fundamental tone frequencies of two identical strings after one of them was stretched by `eta_(1)=2.0 %` and the other, by `eta_(2)=4.0 %`. The tension is assumed to be proportional to the elongation.

A musical instrument is made using four different metal strings, 1, 2, 3 and 4 with mass per unit length mu,2mu,3mu and 4mu respectively. The instrument is played by vibrating the strings by varying the free length in between the range L_0 and 2L_0 . It is found that in string-1 (mu) at free length L_0 and tension T_0 the fundamental mode frequency is f_0 . List-I gives the above four strings while list-II lists the magnitude of some quantity. If the tension in each string is T_0 , the correct match for the highest fundamental frequency in f_0 units will be -
