A weightless spring of length $60\, cm$ and force constant $200\, N/m$ is kept straight and unstretched on a smooth horizontal table and its ends are rigidly fixed. A mass of $0.25\, kg$ is attached at the middle of the spring and is slightly displaced along the length. The time period of the oscillation of the mass is

(a) System is equivalent to parallel combination of springs
${K_{eq}} = {K_1} + {K_2} = 400$ and
$T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{m}{{{K_{eq}}}}} = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{0.25}}{{400}}} = \frac{\pi }{{20}}$
