Detailed Solution

Given,

The number of oscillations, n = 40 

Time taken, t = 4 s
Time period , 

T =Time taken, tNumber of oscillations, n

Substituting the values,

T =440 = 0.1 s

Now,
Frequency, f = Number of oscillations, n  Time taken, t
Substituting the values,

Frequency, f = 40 4 = 10 Hz

Thus time period,  T =0.1 s and frequency, f = 10 Hz.
