Detailed Solution

The two springs are in parallel.

     Effective spring constant, k=k1+k2

Initial frequency of oscillation is given by f=12πk1+k2m              ………. (i)

When both k1 and k2 are made four times their original values, the new frequency is given by 

f=12π4k1+4k2m
f'=12π4k1+k2m=212πk1+k2m=fv
