If \(n_1\), \(n_2\), and \(n_3\) are the fundamental frequencies of three segments into which a string is divided, then the original fundamental frequency \(n\) of the string is given by:
1. \( \frac{1}{n}=\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2}+\frac{1}{n_3}\)
2. \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{n_1}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{n_2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{n_3}}\)
3. \( \sqrt{n}=\sqrt{n_1}+\sqrt{n_2}+\sqrt{n_3}\)
4. \( n=n_1+n_2+n_3\)
