Statement I: x - 
equation of a particle in SHM is given as 
At time 
, potential energy is minimum.
Statement II: In the given equation, the minimum potential energy is zero.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
At given time 
, i.e. body is at mean position. At mean position, potential energy is always minimum. But this minimum potential energy may or may not be zero.
