$\mathrm{T_{1}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l_{1}}{g}}=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega_{1}}=\frac{2 \pi \times \sqrt{1 \cdot 21}}{\sqrt{g}}} \\$

$\mathrm{T_{2}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l_{2}}{g}}=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega_{2 }}=\frac{2 \pi}{\sqrt{g}}(\sqrt{1})}$

Let $\theta_{1}$ and $\theta_{2}$ be the phase covered by the 1st and 2nd pendulum respectively. The two pendulums to be in the same phase,

$\theta_{2}-\theta_{1}=2 n \pi$

$(n=1,2,3......)$

For the minimum number of vibrations ie. $(n=1)$

$\mathrm{\theta_{2}-\theta_{1}=\omega_{2} t-\omega_{1} t=2 \pi} \\$

$\mathrm{t\left(\frac{2 \pi}{T_{2}}-\frac{2 \pi}{T_{1}}\right)=2 \pi}$

$\mathrm{\frac{1}{t} =\frac{1}{T_{2}}-\frac{1}{T_{1}}} \\$

$\because \mathrm{\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}} =\frac{1.1}{1}=\frac{11}{10}} \\$

$\mathrm{\therefore T_{1} =\frac{11 T_{2}}{10}}$

$\mathrm{\frac{1}{t} =\frac{1}{T_{2}}-\frac{1}{\frac{11 T_{2}}{10}}} \\$

$\mathrm{\frac{1}{t} =\frac{1}{11 T_{2}}} \\$

$\mathrm{t=11 T_{2} }$

Hence the correct option is 4
