Four massless springs whose force constants are $2K, 2K, K$ and $2K$ respectively are attached to a mass $M$ kept on a frictionless plane as shown in the figure. If mass $M$ is displaced in the horizontal direction,then the frequency of the oscillating system is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{K}{4 M}}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{4 K}{M}}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{K}{7 M}}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{7 K}{M}}$
