a

If the mass is raised till the spring becomes unstretched and then released, it will go
down by 2 cm before moving upwards.

b

The frequency of oscillation will be nearly 5 H z .

c

If the system is taken to the moon, the frequency of oscillation will be the same as that
on the earth.

d

In equilibrium the spring will be stretched by 1 cm .

answer is A, B, C, D.

Detailed Solution

If in equilibrium position, elongation of the spring is equal to x0, then Kx0=mg or x0=mgK=1cm 

If the block is raised till spring becomes unstretched and then released, then
during subsequent motion maximum elongation of the spring ( y ) will be
calculated by energy conservation law.

Loss of PE of block (mgy)=strainenergy12Ky2

y=2mgK=2cm  Hence option ( B ) is correct.

Frequency of oscillations will be, f=12πKm=5Hz

Hence option ( C ) is correct. Since frequency, f , does not depend upon
gravitational acceleration, therefore frequency will remain unchanged, even if the
system is taken to moon. Hence option ( D ) is also correct.
