When a string is divided into three segments of length $l_1,\,l_2$ and $l_3,$ the fundamental frequencies of these three segments are $v_1,\,v_2$ and $v_3$ respectively. The original fundamental frequency $(v)$ of the string is

  • A

    $\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{{{v_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{v_2}}} + \frac{1}{{{v_3}}}$

  • B

    $\frac{1}{{\sqrt v }} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {{v_1}} }} + \frac{1}{{\sqrt {{v_2}} }} + \frac{1}{{\sqrt {{v_3}} }}$

  • C

    $\sqrt v  = \sqrt {{v_1}}  + \sqrt {{v_2}}  + \sqrt {{v_3}} $

  • D

    $v = v_1 + v_2 + v_3$
