$A$ wire is under tension of $2 \text{ kg wt}$ and a wave is travelling through it with some speed. Tension in the wire is so increased that the wave travels through it with thrice the original speed. The increase in tension is (in kg wt)

Consider a system of three connected strings,$S_1, S_2$ and $S_3$ with uniform linear mass densities $\mu \text{ kg/m}$,$4\mu \text{ kg/m}$ and $16\mu \text{ kg/m}$,respectively,as shown in the figure. $S_1$ and $S_2$ are connected at the point $P$,whereas $S_2$ and $S_3$ are connected at the point $Q$,and the other end of $S_3$ is connected to a wall. $A$ wave generator $O$ is connected to the free end of $S_1$. The wave from the generator is represented by $y = y_0 \cos(\omega t - kx) \text{ cm}$,where $y_0, \omega$ and $k$ are constants of appropriate dimensions. Which of the following statements is/are correct:
$(A)$ When the wave reflects from $P$ for the first time,the reflected wave is represented by $y = \alpha_1 y_0 \cos(\omega t + kx + \pi) \text{ cm}$,where $\alpha_1$ is a positive constant.
$(B)$ When the wave transmits through $P$ for the first time,the transmitted wave is represented by $y = \alpha_2 y_0 \cos(\omega t - kx) \text{ cm}$,where $\alpha_2$ is a positive constant.
$(C)$ When the wave reflects from $Q$ for the first time,the reflected wave is represented by $y = \alpha_3 y_0 \cos(\omega t - kx + \pi) \text{ cm}$,where $\alpha_3$ is a positive constant.
$(D)$ When the wave transmits through $Q$ for the first time,the transmitted wave is represented by $y = \alpha_4 y_0 \cos(\omega t - 4kx) \text{ cm}$,where $\alpha_4$ is a positive constant.
