Solution

The correct option is B T=T1=T2<T3
Time period of pendulum doesn’t depends upon mass but it depends upon length (distance between point of suspension and centre of mass). In first three cases length are same so T=T1=T2 but in last case centre of mass lowers which in turn increases the length.So in this case time period will be more than the other cases.
