$A$ small mass executes linear $SHM$ about $O$ with amplitude $a$ and period $T.$ Its displacement from $O$ at time $T/8$ after passing through $O$ is:

$A$ particle executes simple harmonic motion (amplitude $= A$) between $x = -A$ and $x = +A$. The time taken for it to go from $x = 0$ to $x = A/2$ is ${T_1}$ and to go from $x = A/2$ to $x = A$ is ${T_2}$. Then:

In the following table,time is in column-$I$ and the phase of an oscillator starting from the mean position is in column-$II$. Match them appropriately.

$(a)$ $t = \frac{T}{8}$ $(i)$ $\theta = \frac{5\pi}{4}$
$(b)$ $t = \frac{5T}{8}$ $(ii)$ $\theta = \frac{3\pi}{2}$
$(iii)$ $\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}$

The displacement-time equation of a particle executing $SHM$ is $x = A \sin \left( \omega t + \frac{\pi}{6} \right)$. The time taken by the particle to go directly from $x = -\frac{A}{2}$ to $x = +\frac{A}{2}$ is
