A massless rod is suspended by two identical strings $AB$ and $CD$ of equal length. A block of mass $m$ is suspended from point $ O $ such that $BO$ is equal to $’x’$. Further, it is observed that the frequency of $1^{st}$ harmonic (fundamental frequency) in $AB$ is equal to $2^{nd}$ harmonic frequency in $CD$. Then, length of $BO$ is
