Correct answer: C

x=asin⁡2ωt=a(1−cos⁡2ωt2)x = a{\sin ^2}\omega t = a\left( {{{1 - \cos 2\omega t} \over 2}} \right)x=asin2ωt=a(21−cos2ωt​)

   (∵cos⁡2θ=1−2sin⁡2θ)\left(\because {\cos 2\theta = 1 - 2{{\sin }^2}\theta } \right)(∵cos2θ=1−2sin2θ)

=a2−acos⁡2ωt2 = {a \over 2} - {{a\cos 2\omega t} \over 2}=2a​−2acos2ωt​

∴\therefore∴ Velocity, v=dxdt=2ωasin⁡2ωt2=ωαsin⁡2ωtv = {{dx} \over {dt}} = {{2\omega a\sin 2\omega t} \over 2} = \omega \alpha \sin 2\omega tv=dtdx​=22ωasin2ωt​=ωαsin2ωt

Acceleration, a=dvdt=2ω2acos⁡2ωta = {{dv} \over {dt}} = 2{\omega ^2}a\cos 2\omega ta=dtdv​=2ω2acos2ωt

For the given displacement x = αsin⁡2ωt\alpha \sin 2\omega tαsin2ωt,

a∝−xa \propto - xa∝−x is not satisfied.

Hence, the motion of the particle is non simple harmonic motion.

Note : The given motion is a periodic motion with a time period

T=2π2ω=πωT = {{2\pi } \over {2\omega }} = {\pi \over \omega }T=2ω2π​=ωπ​
