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.
$(1)$ $I \rightarrow P, II \rightarrow Q, III \rightarrow T, IV \rightarrow U$
$(2)$ $I \rightarrow T, II \rightarrow Q, III \rightarrow R, IV \rightarrow U$
$(3)$ $I \rightarrow P, II \rightarrow Q, III \rightarrow R, IV \rightarrow T$
$(4)$ $I \rightarrow P, II \rightarrow R, III \rightarrow T, IV \rightarrow U$

When tension $T$ is applied to a sonometer wire of length $l$, it vibrates with the fundamental frequency $n$. Keeping the setup same, when the tension is increased by $8 \,N$, the fundamental frequency becomes three times the earlier. The initial tension applied to the wire was: (in $\,N$)

$A$ piano wire with a diameter of $0.90 \ mm$ is replaced by another wire of diameter $0.93 \ mm$ of the same material. If the tension of the wire is kept the same,then the percentage change in the frequency of the fundamental tone is

Show that when a string fixed at its two ends vibrates in $1$ loop,$2$ loops,$3$ loops and $4$ loops,the frequencies are in the ratio $1 : 2 : 3 : 4$.

The length and diameter of a metal wire used in a sonometer are both doubled. The fundamental frequency will change from $n$ to:
