Solution

The correct option is A 2×102 J
Let us assume , spring- mass system is initially in equilibrium at x=0. Let this point be the reference point about which the body executes SHM.
Given,
Mass of the body m=1.0 kg
Elongation of spring/Amplitude of SHM A=5 cm
Maximum kinetic energy of the body attached to the spring is given by Kmax=12kA2
=12×16×(5×102)2=2×102 J
Thus, option (a) is the correct answer.
