Solution

The correct option is C 2πR2Gp
Let the displacement of the particle from the center of the ring be x and θ be the angle between line joining particle to center of ring to that joining particle to any point on the ring.
Hence cosθ=xx2+R2
Force acting on particle towards the ring's center=F=GMmR2+x2cosθ
=GMmx(R2+x2)3/2
for small x
F=GMmR3x=kx

k=GMmR3=mω2

ω=GMR3=Gρ2πRR3=2GρπR2

Hence time period =2πω
=2πR2Gρ
