The angular velocity and the amplitude of a simple pendulum is $\omega $ and $a$ respectively. At a displacement $X$ from the mean position if its kinetic energy is $T$ and potential energy is $V$, then the ratio of $T$ to $V$ is
  • A${X^2}{\omega ^2}/({a^2} - {X^2}{\omega ^2})$
  • B${X^2}/({a^2} - {X^2})$
  • C$({a^2} - {X^2}{\omega ^2})/{X^2}{\omega ^2}$
  • D$({a^2} - {X^2})/{X^2}$
