Solution

The correct option is B 90
Bigger pendulum( greater (l)) will have greater time period.
Time period of smaller pendulum T1=T
Time period of bigger pendulum T2=5T4

They both start at the same time from mean position,
after time t, phase difference between them is:
Δϕ=ω1tω2t=(2πT2π5T/4)×t
when bigger pendulum completes oscillation, t=5T4
Δϕ=2π5T×5T4
Δϕ=π2
Hence, option (b) is correct
