When a string is divided into three segments of lengths $l_1, l_2 and l_3,$ the fundamental frequencies of these three segments are $v_1, v_2 and v_3$ respectively. The original fundamental frequency (v) of the string is 

(1) $\sqrt{v}=\sqrt{v_1}+\sqrt{v_2}+\sqrt{v_3}$

(2) $v=v_1+v_2+v_3$

(3) $\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{v_1}+\frac{{\displaystyle 1}}{{\displaystyle v_2}}+\frac{{\displaystyle 1}}{{\displaystyle v_3}}$

(4) $\frac{1}{\sqrt{v}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{v_1}}+\frac{{\displaystyle 1}}{{\displaystyle \sqrt{v_2}}}+\frac{{\displaystyle 1}}{{\displaystyle \sqrt{v_3}}}$
