Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1: 3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(x =\frac{ A }{2}, \quad \text { P.E. }=\frac{1}{2} kx ^2\)

\(K . E .=\frac{1}{2} kA ^2-\frac{1}{2} kx ^2\)

\(\frac{ P . E }{ K . E }=\frac{ x ^2}{ A ^2- x ^2}=\frac{ A ^2}{4\left(\frac{3 A ^2}{4}\right)}=\frac{1}{3}\)
