Time period of simple pendulum, T=2π√(l/g) Thus time-period is inversely proportional to √g (where g is acceleration due to gravity). And as the value of g on a satellite is zero, therefore time-period of pendulum is infinity.

Q. Assertion : The time‐period of pendulum, on a satellite orbiting the earth is infinity.
Reason : Time‐period of a pendulum is inversely proportional to $g$ .

If both the assertion and reason are true and reason is a correct explanation of the assertion

If both assertion and reason are true but assertion is not a correct explanation of the assertion

If the assertion is true but the reason is false

If both assertion and reason are false

Time period of simple pendulum, $T = 2 π \frac{l}{g}$
Thus time-period is inversely proportional to $g$ (where $g$ is acceleration due to gravity). And as the value of $g$ on a satellite is zero, therefore time-period of pendulum is infinity.
