Two springs of constants k1 and k2 are connected in series to a block A that vibrates

Question:

Two springs of constants k1 and k2 are connected in series to a block A that vibrates in simple harmonic motion with a period of 5. When the same two springs are connected in parallel to the same block, the block vibrates with a period of 2s. Determine the ratio k1/k2 of the two spring constants.
