    A particle executes simple harmonic motion and is located at\[x=a,b\]and c at times\[{{t}_{0}},2{{t}_{0}}\] and\[3{{t}_{0}}\]respectively. The frequency of the oscillation is      [JEE Main 16-4-2018]

    A)  \[\frac{1}{2\pi {{t}_{0}}}{{\cos }^{-1}}\left( \frac{a+b}{2c} \right)\]

    B) \[\frac{1}{2\pi {{t}_{0}}}{{\cos }^{-1}}\left( \frac{a+b}{3c} \right)\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{2\pi {{t}_{0}}}{{\cos }^{-1}}\left( \frac{2a+3c}{b} \right)\]

    D)  \[\frac{1}{2\pi {{t}_{0}}}{{\cos }^{-1}}\left( \frac{a+c}{2b} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     \[a=A\cos \omega {{t}_{o}}\]                                    ............(1) \[b=A\cos 2\omega {{t}_{o}}\]                                  .............(2) \[c=A\cos 3\omega {{t}_{o}}\]                                   .............(3) On adding (1) and (3) \[a+c=A(\cos \omega {{t}_{o}}+\cos 3\omega {{t}_{o}})\] \[a+c=2A\cos (\frac{3\omega {{t}_{o}}+\omega {{t}_{o}}}{2})cos(\frac{3\omega {{t}_{o}}-\omega {{t}_{o}}}{2})\] \[a+c=2A\cos 2\omega {{t}_{o}}\cos \omega {{t}_{o}}\] from (2), \[b=A\cos 2\omega {{t}_{o}}\] \[a+c=2b\cos \omega {{t}_{o}}\] \[{{\cos }^{-1}}(\frac{a+c}{2b})=2\pi f{{t}_{o}}\] \[f=\frac{1}{2\pi {{t}_{o}}}{{\cos }^{-1}}(\frac{a+c}{2b})\]
