    A bob of mass ' mm ' suspended by a thread of length ll undergoes simple harmonic oscillations with time period TT. If the bob is immersed in a liquid that has density 14\frac{1}{4} times that of the bob and the length of the thread is increased by 1/3rd 1/3^{\text{rd~}} of the original length, then the time period of the simple harmonic oscillations will be :-
