Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION

(a, c) When spring is stretched by , restoring force will be

potential energy of the stretched spring When particle is released, it will execute S.H.M. about equilibrium position.
Acceleration will be
At equilibrium position,

Hence, when just released
Hence, acceleration is maximum. Thus, option is correct.
At equilibrium, whole PE will be converted to K.E. Hence,
K.E will be maximum and hence, speed will be maximum.
