As we learnt in

Time period of oscillation of simple pendulum -

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

- wherein

l = length of pendulum 

g = acceleration due to gravity.

 

 Halved

 

Hence option D is correct

Simple pendulum is doing simple harmonic motion . so, Total energy is given by:
      T. E. = 1/2*m*A2*(\omega)2 
But (\omega)2 =g/l
Then, T. E. =1/2*m*A2*g/l
As mass(m), 1/2, Amplitude(A), and Acceleration due to gravity(g) are constant, then:
         T. E. is inversely proportional to length of the simple pendulum(l). Therefore if length become doubled T.E. becomes halved.
So option (d) is the answer.

the answer is (d) halved. we know the formula t = 2pi * root(l/g).
so when l’ = 2l. t becomes root(2) times more.
