The period of oscillation of a mass $m$ suspended from a spring is $2 \mathrm{~s}$. If along with it another mass $2 \mathrm{~kg}$ is also suspended, the period of oscillation increases by $1 \mathrm{~s} .$ The mass $m$ will be (a) $2 \mathrm{~kg}$ (b) $1 \mathrm{~kg}$ (c) $1.6 \mathrm{~kg}$ (d) $2.6 \mathrm{~kg}$
