$A$ book with many printing errors contains four different formulas for the displacement $y$ of a particle undergoing a certain periodic motion:
$(a) \; y = a \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi t}{T}\right)$
$(b) \; y = a \sin v t$
$(c) \; y = \left(\frac{a}{T}\right) \sin \frac{t}{a}$
$(d) \; y = (a \sqrt{2}) \left(\sin \frac{2 \pi t}{T} + \cos \frac{2 \pi t}{T}\right)$
($a =$ maximum displacement of the particle,$v =$ speed of the particle,$T =$ time-period of motion). Rule out the wrong formulas on dimensional grounds.
