A pendulum suspended from the roof of an elevator at rest has a time period T1. When the elevator moves up with an acceleration ‘a′, its time period becomes T2; when the elevator moves down with an acceleration ‘a′; its time period becomes T3, then

Solution
The correct option is CT1=T2T3√2√T22+T23 When elevator is at rest, time period of pendulum is T1=2π√lg ⇒ When elevator is moving up with acceleration a, Then T2=2π√lg+a ⇒ When elevator moves down with acceleration a, then T3=2π√lg−a ⇒T3>T2 and T1 both ⇒T1=T2T3√2√T22+T23
