Two light identical springs of spring constant $k$ are attached horizontally at the two ends of a uniform horizontal rod $AB$ of length $l$ and mass $m$. The rod is pivoted at its centre $O$ and can rotate freely in a horizontal plane. The other ends of the two springs are fixed to rigid supports as shown in the figure. The rod is gently pushed through a small angle $\theta$ and released. The frequency of the resulting oscillation is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{{3k}}{m}} $
  • B
    $\frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{{2k}}{m}} $
  • C
    $\frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{{6k}}{m}} $
  • D
    $\frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{{k}}{m}} $
