As the temperature is increased, the time period of a pendulum

As we know time period of a pendulum is given by so from this we can say


Now also we know that as the temperature increased the length L increases due to linear expansion i.e. .


So from above we can say on increasing temperature, its effective length increases hence T also increases.


Therefore option (a) is correct.

The radius of a metal sphere at room temperature T is R, and the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is α. The sphere is heated a little by a temperature ∆T so that its new temperature T is (T + ∆T). The increase in the volume of the sphere is approximately
