Answer

$D\lt C\lt A\lt B$

Work Step by Step

We know that the time period is given as $T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{K}}$ For system A $T_A=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m_A}{K_A}}=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{K}}$ For system B $T_B=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{2m}{K}}=\sqrt{2}T_A$ For system C $T_C=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{3m}{6K}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt 2}T_A$ For system D $T_D=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{4K}}=\frac{1}{2}T_A$ Now the increasing order of the time periods of the given systems is $D\lt C\lt A\lt B$
