Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The extreme position of a swinging simple pendulum has only potential energy.
The extreme position of a simple pendulum is the position when the bob has made maximum displacement with respect to its mean position. As the bob is at its highest point in this position, its potential energy is maximum and kinetic energy is minimum. Hence it has only potential energy and zero kinetic energy.
