the question is preety simple
first assume mass m is displacement be x amount at particular instant
then you can see in top most spring the extension will be x/2
now write the energy equation
it will be mgx=1/2  mv2 + ½ k x2 +1/2 k(x/2)2
now difentiate it wrt t 
you will get a=  -10kx/8  + 5 mg
a  \alpha  -(5k/4)x
therefore keffective =5k/4
now T=2\pi root(m/keffective)
=2\pi root(4m/5k)
 
please approve
