Solution

The correct option is A True
  1. The time taken by a pendulum to complete one oscillation is called the time period.
  2. The time period of a simple pendulum is given as, T=2πlg, where l is length of the pendulum and g is acceleration due to gravity.
  3. As π and l are constant, it can be said that, T1g.
  4. Therefore, the time period of a simple pendulum is inversely proportional to the square root of acceleration due to gravity.

Hence, the given statement is true.
