$A$ spring of force constant $k$ is cut into lengths of ratio $1:2:3$. They are connected in series and the new force constant is $k'$. Then they are connected in parallel and the force constant is $k''$. Then $k':k''$ is

Two springs $A$ and $B$ having spring constants $K_{A}$ and $K_{B}$ $(K_{A} = 2 K_{B})$ are stretched by applying forces of equal magnitude. If the energy stored in spring $A$ is $E_{A}$,then the energy stored in spring $B$ will be:

Two masses of $10\, kg$ and $20\, kg$ respectively are connected by a massless spring as shown in the figure. $A$ force of $200\, N$ acts on the $20\, kg$ mass. At the instant when the $10\, kg$ mass has an acceleration of $12\, m\, s^{-2}$,the acceleration of the $20\, kg$ mass is ...... $m\, s^{-2}$.
