The frequency of oscillation of a compound pendulum is (where kG = Radius of gyration about the centroidal axis and h = Distance between the point of suspension and C.G. of the body.)
A. $$2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{{\text{gh}}}}{{{\text{k}}_{\text{G}}^2 + {{\text{h}}^2}}}} $$
B. $$2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{{\text{k}}_{\text{G}}^2 + {{\text{h}}^2}}}{{{\text{gh}}}}} $$
C. $$\frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{{{\text{gh}}}}{{{\text{k}}_{\text{G}}^2 + {{\text{h}}^2}}}} $$
D. $$\frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{{{\text{k}}_{\text{G}}^2 + {{\text{h}}^2}}}{{{\text{gh}}}}} $$
