String mass $=m$

length $=L$

$\mu=m / L$

Tension at $A=T_{A}=\frac{m}{4} \times g=m g / 4$

Velocity of wave at $A=V_{A}=\sqrt{\frac{T_{A}}{\mu}}=\sqrt{\frac{m g / 4}{m / L}}=\sqrt{\frac{g L}{4}}$

Tension at $B=T_{B}=\frac{3}{4} m \times g$

speed of wave at $B=V_{B}=\sqrt{\frac{T_{B}}{\mu}}=\sqrt{\frac{3 m g}{4 \mu}}=\sqrt{\frac{3 g L}{4}}$

$\Rightarrow \quad\left[V_{B}=\sqrt{3} V_{A}\right]$
