When a stretched wire of fundamental frequency $f$ is divided into three segments,the fundamental frequencies of these three segments are $f_1, f_2$ and $f_3$ respectively. Then the relation among $f_1, f_2, f_3$ and $f$ is (Assume tension is constant).

The equation of vibration of a stretched string fixed at both ends and vibrating in $5^{\text{th}}$ harmonic is $Y = 3 \sin(0.4x) \cos(200\pi t)$, where '$x$' and '$Y$' are in $cm$ and '$t$' is in seconds. The length of the string is: (in $\pi \text{ cm}$)

Two identical strings $X$ and $Z$ made of the same material have tensions $T_{x}$ and $T_{z}$ in them. If their fundamental frequencies are $450\, Hz$ and $300\, Hz$,respectively,then the ratio $T_{x} / T_{z}$ is:
