$\frac{x}{a}=\sin \omega t$

$\Rightarrow \cos \omega t=\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{x_{2}}{a^{2}}\right)}$

$\frac{y}{a}=\sin 2 \omega t$

$=2 \sin \omega t \times \cos \omega t$

$=2 \frac{x}{a} \times \sqrt{1-\left(\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}\right)}$

$ \Rightarrow y = \frac{{2x}}{{{a^2}}}\sqrt {\left( {a - x} \right)\left( {a + x} \right)} $

Hence trajectory of particle will look like as $(\mathrm{c})$
