The correct answer is: If both assertion and reason are true but assertion is not a correct explanation of the assertion.
Aparticle is said to execute simple harmonic motion, if it moves to and fro about a fixed point under the action of a restoring force which is directly proportional to its displacement from the fixed point and is always directed towards the fixed point. Also the velocity of the particle when its displacement is $x, v=\omega \sqrt{k^2-x^2}$.
