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 $2L_0$. 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 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 lengths of the strings $1, 2, 3$ and $4$ are kept fixed at $L_0, 3L_0/2, 5L_0/4$ and $7L_0/4$,respectively. Strings $1, 2, 3$ and $4$ are vibrated at their $1^{st}, 3^{rd}, 5^{th}$ and $14^{th}$ harmonics,respectively,such that all the strings have the same frequency. The correct match for the tension in the four strings in the units of $T_0$ will be.
$(1)$ $I \rightarrow P, II \rightarrow Q, III \rightarrow T, IV \rightarrow U$
$(2)$ $I \rightarrow T, II \rightarrow Q, III \rightarrow R, IV \rightarrow U$
$(3)$ $I \rightarrow P, II \rightarrow Q, III \rightarrow R, IV \rightarrow T$
$(4)$ $I \rightarrow P, II \rightarrow R, III \rightarrow T, IV \rightarrow U$

$A$ tuning fork resonates with a sonometer wire of length $1 \ m$ stretched with a tension of $6 \ N$. When the tension in the wire is changed to $54 \ N$,the same tuning fork produces $12$ beats per second with it. The frequency of the tuning fork is $Hz$.

$A$ wire of density $9 \times 10^3 \text{ kg/m}^3$ is stretched between two clamps $1 \text{ m}$ apart and is subjected to an extension of $4.9 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m}$. The lowest frequency of transverse vibration in the wire is ..... $\text{Hz}$ $(Y = 9 \times 10^{10} \text{ N/m}^2)$.

$A$ sonometer wire '$A$' of diameter '$d$' under tension '$T$' having density '$\rho_1$' vibrates with fundamental frequency '$n$'. If we use another wire '$B$' which vibrates with the same frequency under tension '$2T$' and diameter '$2d$',then the density '$\rho_2$' of wire '$B$' will be:

When a string is divided into three segments of length $l_1, l_2$ and $l_3,$ the fundamental frequencies of these three segments are $v_1, v_2$ and $v_3$ respectively. The original fundamental frequency $(v)$ of the string is
