(c) If $t$ is the time taken by pendulums to come in same phase again first time after $t = 0$.
and ${N_S} = $ Number of oscillations made by shorter length pendulum with time period ${T_S}$.
${N_L} = $ Number of oscillations made by longer length pendulum with time period ${T_L}$.

Then $t = {N_S}{T_S} = {N_L}{T_L}$

$ \Rightarrow {N_S}2\pi \sqrt {\frac{5}{g}} = {N_L} \times 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{20}}{g}} $ ($\because T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{g}} $)

$ \Rightarrow {N_S} = 2{N_L}$ i.e. if ${N_L} = 1$

$ \Rightarrow {N_S} = 2$
