A body at the end of a spring executes S.H.M. with a period ${\mathrm{T}}_1$ while the corresponding period for another spring is ${\mathrm{T}}_2$. If the period of oscillation with two springs in series is T, then:

1.  $\mathrm{T} = {\mathrm{T}}_1 + {\mathrm{T}}_2$

2.  ${\mathrm{T}}^2 = {\mathrm{T}}_1^2 + {\mathrm{T}}_2^2$

3.  $\frac{1}{\mathrm{T}} = \frac{1}{{\mathrm{T}}_1} + \frac{1}{{\mathrm{T}}_2}$

4.  $\frac{1}{{\mathrm{T}}^2} = \frac{1}{{\mathrm{T}}_1^2} + \frac{1}{{\mathrm{T}}_2^2}$
