If the length of a simple pendulum is halved then its period of oscillation is

Doubled
Halved
Increased by a factor 2
Decreased by a factor 2
Decreased by a factor 2  The time period of a pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of its length. So, if the length increases, its time period also increase. It means that it takes longer to complete one oscillation. So when its length is halved, its time period is decreased by a factor of 2.
