(b) When mass $700 \,gm$ is removed, the left out mass $(500 + 400)\, gm$ oscillates with a period of $3\, sec$
 $3 = t = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{(500 + 400)}}{k}} $…...$(i)$
When $500 \,gm$ mass is also removed, the left out mass is $400\, gm.$
 $t' = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{400}}{k}} $…..$(ii)$
==> $\frac{3}{{t'}} = \sqrt {\frac{{900}}{{400}}} $ ==> $t' = 2\sec $
