    Answer the following by appropriately matching the lists based on the information given in the paragraph.

    A musical instrument is made using four different metal strings, $1,2,3$ and $4$ with mass per unit length $\mu, 2 \mu, 3 \mu$ and $4 \mu$ respectively. The instrument is played by vibrating the strings by varying the free length in between the range $L _0$ and $2 L _0$. It is found that in string-$1$ $(\mu)$ at free length $L _0$ and tension $T _0$ the fundamental mode frequency is $f _0$.

    $List-I$ gives the above four strings while $list-II$ lists the magnitude of some quantity.

    $List-I$ $List-II$
    $(I)$ String-1( $\mu$ ) $(P) 1$
    $(II)$ String-2 $(2 \mu)$ $(Q)$ $1 / 2$
    $(III)$ String-3 $(3 \mu)$ $(R)$ $1 / \sqrt{2}$
    $(IV)$ String-4 $(4 \mu)$ $(S)$ $1 / \sqrt{3}$
      $(T)$ $3 / 16$
      $(U)$ $1 / 16$

    ($1$) If the tension in each string is $T _0$, the correct match for the highest fundamental frequency in $f _0$ units will be,

    $(1)$ $I \rightarrow P , II \rightarrow R , III \rightarrow S , IV \rightarrow Q$

    $(2)$ $I \rightarrow P , II \rightarrow Q , III \rightarrow T , IV \rightarrow S$

    $(3)$ $I \rightarrow Q , II \rightarrow S , III \rightarrow R , IV \rightarrow P$

    $(4)$ I $\rightarrow Q , II \rightarrow P , III \rightarrow R$, IV $\rightarrow T$

    ($2$) The length of the string $1,2,3$ and 4 are kept fixed at $L _0, \frac{3 L _0}{2}, \frac{5 L _0}{4}$ and $\frac{7 L _0}{4}$, respectively. Strings $1,2,3$ and 4 are vibrated at their $1^{\text {tt }}, 3^{\text {rd }}, 5^{\text {m }}$ and $14^{\star}$ harmonics, respectively such that all the strings have same frequency. The correct match for the tension in the four strings in the units of $T _0$ will be.

    $(1)$ $I \rightarrow P , II \rightarrow Q , III \rightarrow T , IV \rightarrow U$

    $(2)$ $I \rightarrow T , II \rightarrow Q , III \rightarrow R$, IV $\rightarrow U$

    $(3)$ $I \rightarrow P , II \rightarrow Q , III \rightarrow R , IV \rightarrow T$

    $(4)$ I $\rightarrow P , II \rightarrow R , III \rightarrow T , IV \rightarrow U$
