    Which of the following statements is /are true?

    A)  A clock when taken on a mountain can be made to give correct time if we change the length of pendulum suitably

    B)  An increase in value of g makes a clock go slow

    C)  If the length of a pendulum is increased, the clock becomes fast

    D)  A clock when taken to a deep mine or carried to the top of a mountain becomes slow

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Above or below the earth's surface, value of acceleration due to gravity decreases, so time period\[\left( T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}} \right)\]increases ie, clock will become slow.
