Four pendulums A, B, C and D are suspended from the same elastic support as shown in figure. A and C are of the same length, while B is smaller than A and D is larger than A. If A is given a transverse displacement.
A
D will vibrate with maximum amplitude.
B
C will vibrate with maximum amplitude.
C
B will vibrate with maximum amplitude.
D
All the four will oscillate with equal amplitude.

Correct option is B)
Since length of pendulum A and C is same and T=2πgL, hence their time period is same and they will have same frequency of vibration. Due to it, a resonance will take place and the pendulum C will vibrate with maximum amplitude.
