Q. Out of the following functions representing motion of a particle which represents SHM (1) $y = \sin{\omega t} - \cos{\omega t}$ (2) $y = \sin^{3}{\omega t}$ (3) $y = 5\cos\left( \frac{3\pi}{4} - 3\omega t \right)$ (4) $y = 1 + \omega t + \omega^{2}t^{2}$

A) Only (1) and (2)
B) Only (1)
C) Only (4) does not represent SHM
D) Only (1) and (3)
Explanation

(d) For SHM,$\ \frac{d^{2}y}{dt^{2}} \propto - y$
