Angular frequency of SHM of the pendulum is given as
\omega=\sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}
so we have
\begin{array}{l} \omega_{1}=\sqrt{\frac{q}{1}}=\omega_{0} \\ \\ \omega_{2}=\sqrt{\frac{q}{4}}=\frac{1}{2} \omega_{0} \end{array}

 

\begin{aligned} &t=\frac{\theta}{\omega}\\ &\begin{array}{l} t=\frac{2 \pi}{\frac{1}{2} \omega_{o}} \\ t=2\left(\frac{2 \pi}{\omega_{o}}\right) \end{array} \end{aligned}

so in this time shorter pendulum will complete its 2 oscillations

so in order to come back in same phase again the time taken by it is given as
