A particle performs S.H.M. Its potential energies are 'U \(_{1}\) ' and \({ }^{\prime} \mathrm{U}_{2}\) ' at displacements
\({ }^{\prime} \mathrm{x}_{1}{ }^{\prime}\) and \({ }^{\prime} \mathrm{x}_{2}\) ' respectively. At displacement \(\left(\mathrm{x}_{1}+\mathrm{x}_{2}\right)\), its potential energy ' \(\mathrm{U}^{\prime}\) is

  1. A \(\sqrt{\mathrm{U}}=\sqrt{\mathrm{U}_{1}}+\sqrt{\mathrm{U}_{2}}\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{\mathrm{U}}=\left(\sqrt{\mathrm{U}_{1}}+\sqrt{\mathrm{U}_{2}}\right)^{2}\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{\mathrm{U}}=\sqrt{\mathrm{U}_{1}}-\sqrt{\mathrm{U}_{2}}\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{\mathrm{U}}=\left(\sqrt{\mathrm{U}_{1}}-\sqrt{\mathrm{U}_{2}}\right)^{2}\)
