The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Effective gravity: \[ g' = g + a \] \[ T \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{g}} \Rightarrow T^2 \propto \frac{1}{g} \]

Step 1:
Ratio
\[ \frac{T_1^2}{T_2^2} = \frac{g+a}{g} = \frac{10+1}{10} = \frac{11}{10} \approx \frac{6}{5} \] Conclusion: \(\frac{6}{5}\)
