You knew that this question is ridiculously easy. So, just to
make it harder, you decided not to let us see the picture, so
that we could not "examine the circuit".
The description is talking about a parallel circuit. The other
kind is a series circuit, and that one has no forks in the road.
The answer for this is 1200N
At the point of maximum displacement (a), the elastic potential energy of the spring is maximum:

while the kinetic energy is zero, because at the maximum displacement the mass is stationary, so its velocity is zero:

And the total energy of the system is

Viceversa, when the mass reaches the equilibrium position, the elastic potential energy is zero because the displacement x is zero:

while the mass is moving at speed v, and therefore the kinetic energy is

And the total energy is

For the law of conservation of energy, the total energy must be conserved, therefore

. So we can write

that we can solve to find an expression for v:
