The displacement of a particle varies with time according to the relation
(a) The motion is oscillatory but not SHM
(b) The motion is SHM with amplitude a + b
(c) The motion is SHM with amplitude
(d) The motion is SHM with amplitude
The answer is the option (d) The motion is SHM with amplitude
Explanation: Given:
Now, we know that,
The amplitude of motion,
Thus, opt (d).
