The effective spring constant of two spring system as shown in figure will be 

a
K1+K2
b
K1K2/K1+K2
c
K1−K2
d
K1K2/K1−K2

detailed solution

Correct option is A

When external force is applied, one spring gets extended and another one gets contracted by the same distance hence force due to two springs act in same direction. i.e.  F=F1+F2⇒− kx=− k1x−k2x⇒k=k1+k2
