(d) $\omega = \frac{{2\pi }}{T} = \frac{{2\pi }}{{12}} = \frac{\pi }{6}\frac{{rad}}{{sec}}$ (For $y = 2 \,cm$) $2 = 4\left( {\sin \frac{\pi }{6}{t_1}} \right)$

By solving ${t_1} = 1$sec (For $y = 4 \,cm$) ${t_2} = 3sec$

So time taken by particle in going from 2 cm to extreme position is ${t_2} - {t_1} = 2sec$. 

Hence required ratio will be $\frac{1}{2}$.
