time period is given by T = 2\pi\sqrt{l/g}
since value of g is max at pole and min at equator.
So T will be high at equator.
Hope it clears. If you like answer then please approve it.

due to rotation of earth value of ‘g’ increases as we move from equator to pole. and T is inversionaly proportional to g so at equator T will be more
