Two identical beads are attached to free springs of spring constant
k=[( 2 + √3)mg ] / √3 R.
Initially both springs make an angle of 60 at the fixed point and normal length of each spring is 2R where R is the radius of smooth ring over which bead is sliding. ring is placed on vertical plane and beads are at symmetry with respect to vertical line as diameter.
* Normal reaction on one of the bead at initial moment due to ring is......
A. mg/2
B.√3mg/2
C.mg
D.none

This answer is wrong the correct answer is
N = mg
Proof is given below:-
N= k∆xcos30° + mgcos60°
N= k{2-√3} . √3/2 + mg/2
N= R(2+√3)mg(2-√3)/√3R . √3/2 + mg/2
N= (4-3)mg/2 + mg/2
N= mg
