The correct answer is: 2.3 s


It is a physical pendulum, and its time period T=2π I mgx

here I = moment of inertia of the pendulum about point of suspension

I= M L 2 12 + M L 2 4 = M L 2 3

and x = distance of point of suspension from its COM.

x = L/2

T=2π M L 2 /3 mgL/2 =2π 2L 3g

T=2π2×23×10=2.3 sec.
