$A$ particle is describing circular motion in a horizontal plane in contact with the smooth inside surface of a fixed right circular cone with its axis vertical and vertex down. The height of the plane of motion above the vertex is $h$ and the semivertical angle of the cone is $\alpha$. The period of revolution of the particle

  • A
    increases as $h$ increases keeping $\alpha$ same
  • B
    decreases as $h$ increases keeping $\alpha$ same
  • C
    decreases as $\alpha$ increases keeping $h$ same
  • D
    None of these
