The correct answer is: $2 \mathrm{~s}$
Mass of object, $\mathrm{m}=3 \mathrm{~kg}$
Amplitude, $A=\frac{2}{\pi} \mathrm{m}$
Kinetic energy $=6 \mathrm{~J}$
Kinetic energy $=\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 A^2=6$
$\begin{aligned}
& \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times \frac{4 \pi^2}{\mathrm{~T}^2} \times \frac{4}{\pi^2}=6 \\
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{T}^2=4 ; \mathrm{T}=2 \mathrm{~s}
\end{aligned}$
