$A$ rod of mass $M$ and length $2L$ is suspended at its middle by a wire. It exhibits torsional oscillations. If two masses each of $m$ are attached at a distance $L/2$ from its centre on both sides,the oscillation frequency reduces by $20\%$. The value of the ratio $m/M$ is close to:

  • A
    $0.77$
  • B
    $0.57$
  • C
    $0.37$
  • D
    $0.17$
