Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

where f = \(\frac{oscillations}{time}\)

period = 1/ f or \(\frac{time}{oscillations}\)

For pendulum x:

where period = 1.5 and oscillation = 400

time = oscillations X 1.5 = 600s

For pendulum y:

\(\frac{time}{oscillations}\) → 600/500

period for y = 1.2s

period =
