A body executes sample harmonic motion under the action of a force $F_1$ with a time period $(4 / 5)\  sec$. If the force is changed to $F_ 2$ it executes $SHM$ with time period $(3 / 5)\  sec$. If both the forces $F_1$ and $F_2$ act simultaneously in the same direction on the body, it's time period (in $second$) is

$F_{1}=m \omega^{2} x$

$T=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}$

$F=m a=4 m \pi^{2} x \frac{1}{T^{2}}$

$\therefore F_{1}=\frac{4 m \pi^{2}}{T_{1}^{2}} x$

$F_{2}=\frac{4 m \pi^{2}}{T_{2}^{2}} x$

$F_{1}+F_{2}=\frac{4 m \pi^{2} x}{T^{2}}+\frac{4 m \pi^{2} x}{T_{2}^{2}}$

$\frac{1}{T^{2}}=\frac{1}{T_{1}^{2}}+\frac{1}{T_{2}^{2}}$

$\therefore T=\frac{12}{25}$
