A pendulum has a period `T` for small osillations. An obstacle is placed directly beneath the pivot, so that only the lowest one - quarter of the string can follow the pendulum bob when it swings to the left of its resting position. The pendulum is released from rest at a certain point. How long will it take to return to that point again ? In answering this question, you may assume that the angle between the moving string and the vertical stays small throughout the motion.
A. T
B. `(3T)/4`
C. `(3T)/5`
D. `(4T)/5`
