When two displacements represented by y1=asin(ωt) and y2=b cos(ωt) are superimposed the motion is
simple harmonic with amplitude a2+b2
simple harmonic with amplitude (a+b)2
not a simple harmonic
simple harmonic with amplitude ab
Here, y1=asinωt
y2=bcosωt=bsinωt+π2
Hence, resultant motion is SHM with amplitude
a2+b2
