Detailed Solution

See the following force diagram.Vehicle is moving down the frictionless inclined surface so, it's acceleration is gsinθ . Since vehicle is accelerating, a pseudo force  m(gsinθ) will act on bob of pendulum which cancel the sinθ component of weight of the bob.Hence net force on the bob is Fnet =mgcosθ or net acceleration of the bob is  geff=gcosθ∴ Time period  T=2πLgeff=2πLgcosθ
