A body of mass \(m\) is attached to the lower end of a spring whose upper end is fixed. The spring has negligible mass. When the mass \(m\) is slightly pulled down and released, it oscillates with a time period of 3 s. When the mass \(m\) is increased by 1 kg, the time period of oscillations becomes 5 s. The value of \(m\) in kg is
1. \(\frac{4}{3}\)
2. \(\frac{16}{9}\)
3. \(\frac{9}{16}\)
4. \(\frac{3}{4}\)
