Which type of spring has fast oscillations: stiff or soft?

$A$ block of mass $m$ is attached to two springs of spring constants $k_1$ and $k_2$ as shown in the figure. The block is displaced by $x$ towards the right and released. The velocity of the block when it is at $x/2$ will be

All the springs in figures $(a)$,$(b)$,and $(c)$ are identical,each having a force constant $K$. $A$ mass $m$ is attached to each system. If $T_a, T_b$,and $T_c$ are the time periods of oscillations of the three systems in figures $(a)$,$(b)$,and $(c)$ respectively,then:

Two springs,of force constants $k_1$ and $k_2$,are connected to a mass $m$ as shown. The frequency of oscillation of the mass is $f$. If both $k_1$ and $k_2$ are made four times their original values,the frequency of oscillation becomes

When a mass $m$ is hung from the lower end of a spring of negligible mass,an extension $x$ is produced in the spring. The time period of oscillation is

One end of a long metallic wire of length $L$,area of cross-section $A$,and Young's modulus $Y$ is tied to the ceiling. The other end is tied to a massless spring of force constant $K$. $A$ mass $m$ hangs freely from the free end of the spring. It is slightly pulled down and released. Its time period is given by
