    If the length of simple pendulum is increased by 300%, then the time period will be increased by              [RPMT 1999]

    A)            100%                                       

    B)            200%

    C)            300%                                       

    D)            400%

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       \[\frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}}}\Rightarrow \frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{100}{400}}\] (If \[{{l}_{1}}=100\] then \[{{l}_{2}}=400\])                    \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{T}_{2}}=2{{T}_{1}}\]            Hence % increase \[=\frac{{{T}_{2}}-{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{1}}}\times 100=100%\]
