Statement-2: The length of the pendulum used in clock increases in summer.

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Statement-1 is correct because the time period of a pendulum is proportional to the square root of its length.

Statement-2 is also correct as the length increases with temperature. Hence, Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.

where is the time period, is the length, and is the acceleration due to gravity.
