Detailed Solution

Time period of a physical pendulum

$T = 2 π \sqrt{\frac{I_{0}}{mgd}} = 2 π \sqrt{\frac{\frac{1}{2} {mR}^{2} + {mR}^{2}}{mgR}}$

$T = 2 π \sqrt{\frac{3 R}{2 g}} \to (1)$

$T_{simple pendulum} = 2 π \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}} \to (2)$

$equating (1) & (2)$

$2 π \sqrt{\frac{3 R}{2 g}} = 2 π \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$

$\sqrt{\frac{3 R}{2 g}} = \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$

$\frac{3 R}{2 g} = \frac{l}{g} \Rightarrow \frac{3 Rg}{2 g} = l$

$\frac{3 R}{2} = l$

(or)

$T = 2 π \sqrt{\frac{I}{mgd}} \Rightarrow T = 2 π \sqrt{\frac{\frac{3 {MR}^{2}}{2}}{MgR}} = 2 π \sqrt{\frac{3R}{2g}}$

$\Rightarrow 2 π \sqrt{\frac{3R}{2g}} = 2 π \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$

$\Rightarrow l = \frac{3R}{2}$
