$A$ string vibrates in its fundamental mode when a tension $T_1$ is applied to it. If the length of the string is decreased by $25 \%$ and the tension applied is changed to $T_2$, the fundamental frequency of the string increases by $100 \%$, then $\frac{T_2}{T_1} =$ (Linear density of the string is constant)

  • A
    $\frac{3}{8}$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{8}{9}$
  • D
    $\frac{9}{4}$
