Match the columns

 Column-I Column-II
i.Zero gravityp.an SHM is definitely not possible
ii.No restoring forceq.an SHM is definitely possible
iii.Mechanical energy remains conservedr.an SHM may be possible
iv.displacement of a particle from a reference level is given by y = sin2ωts.Can't say

Now, select the correct option from the codes given below.

Easy
Solution

For (i): In zero gravity, SHM may or may not be possible, it depends upon system. For example, a simple pendulum will not perform SHM, but a spring-block system can perform SHM in zero gravity.

For (ii): If no restoring force, then SHM is definitely not possible.
For (iii): Mechanical energy may be conserved in motions other than SHM.
For (iv): y = sin2ωt represents an SHM with position of equilibrium shifted to y = 12
