This is the case of freely falling lift and in free fall of lift effective g for pendulum will be zero. So T= 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{0}} = \infty

 

Time period of simple pendulum accelerating up -

T= 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g+a}}

- wherein

l= length of pendulum

g= acceleration due to gravity.

a= acceleration of pendulum.

 

 

 


Option 1)

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

This is incorrect.

Option 2)

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{2g}}

This is incorrect.

Option 3)

zero

This is incorrect.

Option 4)

infinte

This is correct.
