\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{T}^2 \propto \mathrm{R}^3 \\ & \frac{\mathrm{T}_1^2}{\mathrm{~T}_2^2}=\frac{\mathrm{R}_1^3}{\mathrm{R}_2^3} \Rightarrow\left(\frac{\mathrm{T}_1}{\mathrm{~T}_2}\right)^2=\left(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{\frac{\mathrm{R}}{4}}\right)^3 \\ & \frac{\mathrm{T}_1^2}{\mathrm{~T}_2^2}=64 \\ & \mathrm{~T}_2^2=\frac{\mathrm{T}_1^2}{64} \\ & \mathrm{~T}_2=\frac{\mathrm{T}_1}{8}=\frac{24}{8}=3 \end{aligned}
