A student measures time for 20 oscillations of a simple pendulum as \(30 \mathrm{~s}, 32 \mathrm{~s}, 35 \mathrm{~s}\) and 35 s . If the minimum division in the measuring clock is \(1 s\), then correct mean time (in second) is

  1. A \((33 \pm 2)\)
  2. B \((32 \pm 3)\)
  3. C \((33 \pm 3)\)
  4. D \((32 \pm 2)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \((33 \pm 2)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(T_{avg} = \frac{30+32+35+35}{4} = 33 \mathrm{~s}\) \(\Delta T_1 = |30-33|=3\)
