Detailed Solution

         y=0.5cos2(nπt)sin2(nπt)=0.5cos2nπt       dydt=0.5×2×sin2nπt       d2ydt2=(0.5)(2)2cos2nπt=4n2π2y    ........(i)i.e., d2ydt2y 

i.e., particle is executing SHM with amplitude 0.5 m, i.e., choice (a) is correct.
As standard equation of SHM is

     d2ydt2=ω2y …….(ii)

Hence,  ω=2

For a second's pendulum, T = 2 s

Hence, ω=2πT=π=2n times that of a second's pendulum.

i.e., choice (b) is not correct.

    dydtmax=

i.e., choice (c) is also correct.
