Time period is given by-

\mathrm{T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{m g d}}}......(1)

if \mathrm{d=x}

then, \mathrm{\quad I=I_c+m x^2}

\mathrm{ I=\frac{m l^2}{12}+m x^2 }

\mathrm{ \therefore } For find value of \mathrm{ T } from equation (1)

\mathrm{ T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\frac{m l^2}{12}+m x^2}{m g x}} }

for minimum time period.\mathrm{ \frac{d T}{d x}=0 }

\mathrm{ \frac{d}{d x}\left[2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m l^2+12 m x^2}{12 m g x}}\right]=0 }

\mathrm{ \frac{d}{d x}\left[2 \pi \sqrt{\left(\frac{m l^2}{12 m g x}+\frac{12 m x^2}{12 m g x}\right.}\right)=0 }

After solving,\mathrm{ \sqrt{12} x-l =0 }

                   \mathrm{ l =\sqrt{12} x }

                    \mathrm{ x =l / \sqrt{12} }


Hence option 4 is correct.
