Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 1.44

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{T}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{\mathrm{~g}}}\)
As the periodic time increases by \(20 \%\),
\(\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{T}_2=\mathrm{T}_1+\frac{20}{100}\mathrm{T}_1=\frac{120}{100} \mathrm{~T}_1 \\
& \frac{\mathrm{~T}_2}{\mathrm{~T}_1}=\sqrt{\frac{l_2}{l_1}} \\
& \left(\frac{\mathrm{~T}_2}{\mathrm{~T}_1}\right)^2=\frac{l_2}{l_1} \\
& \left(\frac{120 \mathrm{~T}_1}{100 \times \mathrm{T}_1}\right)^2=\frac{l_2}{l_1} \\
& \frac{36}{25}=\frac{l_2}{l_1} \\
& \frac{l_2}{l_1}=1.44
\end{aligned}\)
