Solution

The correct option is A 2gL and 3mg
The given condition can be shown as

Let the speed of the bob at lowest position be v
By the conservation of energy
Potential energy at point A= Kinetic energy at point B
mgL=12mv2
v=2gL
Also, for tension in the string we have force equation as
T=mg+mv2L=mg+mL(2gL)2=3mg
