The displacement of a particle is given at time $t$,by: $x = A \sin (-2 \omega t) + B \sin^2 \omega t$. Then,

  • A
    the motion of the particle is $SHM$ with an amplitude of $\sqrt{A^2 + \frac{B^2}{4}}$
  • B
    the motion of the particle is not $SHM$,but oscillatory with a time period of $T = \pi / \omega$
  • C
    the motion of the particle is oscillatory with a time period of $T = \pi / 2 \omega$
  • D
    the motion of the particle is aperiodic.
