Correct answer: C

y = sinω\omega ωt – cosω\omega ωt

=2[12sin⁡ωt−12cos⁡ωt]= \sqrt 2 \left[ {{1 \over {\sqrt 2 }}\sin \omega t - {1 \over {\sqrt 2 }}\cos \omega t} \right]=2​[2​1​sinωt−2​1​cosωt]

=2sin⁡(ωt−π4)= \sqrt 2 \sin \left( {\omega t - {\pi \over 4}} \right)=2​sin(ωt−4π​)

It represents a SHM with time period, T=2πωT = {{2\pi } \over \omega }T=ω2π​

y=sin⁡3ωt=14[3sin⁡ωt−sin⁡3ωt]y = {\sin ^3}\omega t = {1 \over 4}\left[ {3\sin \omega t - \sin 3\omega t} \right]y=sin3ωt=41​[3sinωt−sin3ωt]

It represents a periodic motion with time period

T=2πωT = {{2\pi } \over \omega }T=ω2π​ but now SHM.

y=5cos⁡(3π4−3ωt)y = 5\cos \left( {{{3\pi } \over 4} - 3\omega t} \right)y=5cos(43π​−3ωt)

=5cos⁡(3ωt−3π4) = 5\cos \left( {3\omega t - {{3\pi } \over 4}} \right)=5cos(3ωt−43π​)   [∵cos⁡(−θ)=cos⁡θ]\left[ \because {\cos \left( { - \theta } \right) = \cos \theta } \right][∵cos(−θ)=cosθ]

It represents a SHM with time period, T=2π3ωT = {{2\pi } \over {3\omega }}T=3ω2π​

y=1+ωt+ω2t2y = 1 + \omega t + {\omega ^2}{t^2}y=1+ωt+ω2t2

It represents a non-periodic motion. Also it is not physically acceptable as y →\to→ ∞\infty ∞ as t →\to→ ∞\infty ∞.
