Paragraph :
In the figure a container is shown to have a movable (without friction) piston on top. The container and the piston are all made of perfectly insulating material allowing no heat transfer between outside and inside the container. The container is divided into two compartments by a rigid partition made of a thermally conducting material that allows slow transfer of heat. The lower compartment of the container is filled with \(2\) moles of an ideal monatomic gas at \(700 K\) and the upper compartment is filled with \(2\) moles of an ideal diatomic gas at \(400 K\). The heat capacities per mole of an ideal monatomic gas are \(C_{V}=\frac{3}{2} R, C_{P}=\frac{5}{2} R\), and those for an ideal diatomic gas are \(C_{V}=\frac{5}{2} R, C_{P}=\frac{7}{2} R\).

Question :

- As shown in the figures, a uniform rod \(O O^{\prime}\) of length \(l\) is hinged at the point \(O\) and held in place vertically between two walls using two massless springs of same spring constant. The springs are connected at the midpoint and at the top-end \(\left(O^{\prime}\right)\) of the rod, as shown in Fig. 1 and the rod is made to oscillate by a small angular displacement. The frequency of oscillation of the rod is \(f_1\). On the other hand, if both the springs are connected at the midpoint of the rod, as shown in Fig. 2 and the rod is made to oscillate by a small angular displacement, then the frequency of oscillation is \(f_2\). Ignoring gravity and assuming motion only in the plane of the diagram, the value of \(\frac{f_1}{f_2}\) is:
