Q.

A simple pendulum doing small oscillations at a place R height above earth surface has time period of T1=4s. T2 would be it's time period if it is brought to a point which is at a height 2R from earth surface.

Choose the correct relation [R = radius of earth]                    [2024]         

1 2T1=3T2  
2 2T1=T2  
3 T1=T2  
4 3T1=2T2
