The correct answer is: 4981
As two pendulums begin two swings simultaneously, then
n1T1=n2T2
Where, n1 and n2 are the number of oscillations of first and second pendulum respectively and T1 and T2 be their respective time periods.
The time period of simple pendulum is given by
T=2πlg
where, l =length of pendulum
and g = acceleration due to gravity
T21 …. (ii)
So, from Eqs. (i) And (ii), we get
l1l2=T12T22=n22n12
Here, n1=9,n2=7
l1l2=72924981
Hence, the ratio of pendulum lengths
l1:l2=49:81
