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 \(3~\text{s}\). When the mass \(m\) is increased by \(1~\text{kg}\), the time period of oscillations becomes \(5~\text{s}\). The value of \(m\) in \(\text{kg}\) is:
1. \(\dfrac{3}{4}\)
2. \(\dfrac{4}{3}\)
3. \(\dfrac{16}{9}\)
4. \(\dfrac{9}{16}\)
