The bob of a simple pendulum executes simple harmonic motion in water with a period $t$, while the period of oscillation of the bob is ${t_0}$ in air. Neglecting frictional force of water and given that the density of the bob is $(4/3) ×1000 kg/m^3$. What relationship between $t$ and ${t_0}$ is true

(c) $\because \,\,{t_o} = 2\,\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{g}} $

Effective weight of bob inside water,
$W' = mg - {\rm{thrust}} = V\rho g - V\rho 'g$
$ \Rightarrow V\,\,\rho {g_{eff}} = V(\rho - \rho ')g,$ where, $\rho $ = Density of bob
$ \Rightarrow {g_{eff}} = \left( {1 - \frac{{\rho '}}{\rho }} \right)\,g$ and $\rho '$ = Density of water
$\therefore t = 2\,\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{{{g_{eff}}}}} = 2\,\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{{(1 - \rho '/\rho )g}}} $    $  (\because \rho ' = {10^3}kg/{m^3}  \,\,\rho  = \frac{4}{3} \times {10^3}kg/{m^3}) $

$\therefore \frac{t}{{{t_0}}} = \sqrt {\frac{1}{{1 - \rho '/\rho }}} = \sqrt {\frac{1}{{1 - \frac{3}{4}}}} $

$ \Rightarrow t = 2\,{t_0}$.
